Most of the reporting parroted the same deliberate distortions that Fox News disseminated in their predictably biased coverage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=52989\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Media Freaks Out Over Fake News that Hillary Clinton Approved Trump\/Russia Campaign Stories<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Sunday Fox News followed up their story with a response from Donald Trump. But first they had to reiterate the falsehoods that they dispensed in the original report. In the opening sentence Fox <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/trump-reaction-hillary-clinton-spread-russia-allegations-media\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">stated<\/a><\/strong> that <em>&#8220;Hillary Clinton herself approved the dissemination of false information.&#8221;<\/em> Which is utterly untrue and not supported by their own article.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign did not regard the information as false. In fact, it was deemed credible at the time by multiple sources. And they disseminated it to a reporter who they expected would conduct a more in depth investigation. That&#8217;s actually the responsible course of action. Nevertheless, Fox News sought a response from Trump who could only be relied on to muddy the matter further. Which he did&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8216;This is one of the greatest political scandals in history,&#8217; Trump told Fox News Saturday morning. &#8216;For three years, I had to fight her off, and fight those crooked people off, and you\u2019ll never get your reputation fully back. Where do I get my reputation back?&#8217; Trump said again. &#8216;I had to fight them off,&#8217; Trump said. &#8216;And if we had real leadership, instead of people like Mitch McConnell, they would do something about it. And guys like Bill Barr. They would have done something about it.&#8217; <em>[and that it]<\/em> distracted officials from what &#8216;could have been a real danger with Russia.'&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump is right about this being <em>&#8220;one of the greatest political scandals in history.&#8221;<\/em> Just not the one in his delusional mind. The fact that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=52039\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">he and his campaign corroborated so often with Russia<\/a><\/strong> is unprecedented. And his complaints that rabidly partisan players like McConnell and Barr weren&#8217;t sufficiently corrupt for his purposes only makes him look even more guilty.<\/p>\n<p>However, what stands out in this tirade is Trump&#8217;s pleading that he get his reputation back. Really? He wants to restore a reputation best known for dishonesty, corruption, hostility, malignant narcissism, and jaw-dropping ignorance? He wants to refresh the public&#8217;s impression of him as the ultimate loser and recidivist failure? Okay, fine. Let him have it.<\/p>\n<p>As for Fox News, their reputation isn&#8217;t any better. The same article brazenly lied about Trump&#8217;s unsavory connections to Russia, and his infatuation with Vladimir Putin, saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;After nearly two years, Mueller\u2019s investigation yielded no evidence of criminal conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian officials during the 2016 presidential election.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>After three years Fox News is still peddling the falsehood that Mueller found no evidence of Trump colluding with Russia or violating the law. To the contrary, in his Senate testimony Mueller explicitly told the House Judiciary Committee Chairman, Jerry Nadler, that Trump was not, as he repeatedly lied, <em>&#8220;totally exonerated.&#8221;<\/em> And in another exchange with Rep. Adam Schiff, Mueller confirmed that <em>&#8220;Trump and his campaign welcomed and encouraged Russian interference [and] lied about it to cover it up.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=42279\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Exoneration? Collusion? Obstruction? Trump\u2019s Fate is Sealed By 3 Brief Exchanges with Mueller<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So if that&#8217;s the reputation that Trump wants back, he&#8217;s more than welcome to it. In fact, he never lost it to begin with. After all, he worked so hard to slather it with sleaze and drench it in disgrace that it would be a shame to let that go to waste. And it&#8217;s rather humorous that Trump thinks his reputation was taken from him. Because. seriously, who else would want it?<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
