Won't They Ever Learn?

In today's news, there's a story that Michael Cohen has "delayed" the date for testifying before a congressional committee because he is concerned about threats against his family made by President Trump and Rudy Giuliani who is Trump's attorney.  It's a bogus story.  Sure, Cohen didn't want to testify right now for whatever reason, so he called for delay and blamed it on "threats" that never happened.  I mean is there anyone in the USA with even half a brain who believes that the President and his lawyer both threatened Cohen's family?  I doubt it.  That's especially true since the supposed threats are not described in detail and there is no evidence of any such threat being made aside from what Cohen is now saying.  And Cohen is, of course, an admitted liar who is going to prison for lying to Congress.

This is just the latest fake news story of the last week.  So what is the reaction in the mainstream media?  I happened to tune in to MSNBC to watch a panel discussion about how threatening a witness was an impeachable offense.  The media is running with the story as if it is true, but it is not.

We just watched the media get embarrassed by pushing the BuzzFeed story which falsely claimed that Trump told Cohen to lie to Congress.  That was followed by idiots in the media and among the Democrats who distorted the story of the Covington Catholic High School boys, changing them from victims of harassment into some sort of racist monsters.  The man they supposedly harassed turned out to be a fraud.  Now we have yet another bit of fake news that the media is accepting without seeking any corroboration for yet another lie from Cohen.

Won't they ever learn?
