Media BS From the Mainstream Media and More

Yesterday and this morning, there were a spate of articles about how President Trump had "outed" the whistleblower.  The articles were not just in the usual places.  Even the Drudge Report site used the line of "outing" Eric Ciaramella, the whistleblower.  The problem, of course, is that Trump just attached an article to a tweet; that article contained references to Ciaramella as the whistleblower.  Further, anyone who has paid any attention to the news during the last three months knows that Ciaramella is the whistleblower.  His name has been all over the place.  What that means is that Trump didn't "out" the whistleblower.  That's like saying that if Trump said that the Cubs are from Chicago and the Yankees from New York, he outed the home cities of these two baseball teams.  You can't "out" something that most people know already.  That's true even if the media tries to keep up a charade that something is a secret.

Wait.  If I said that Nancy Pelosi uses Botox, would that be news to anyone?  The woman's face is premanently frozen in place.  How about if I said that Joe Biden is not only old but that he acts older than his years?  Would that be news to anyone?  Notice that these are two subjects that the mainstream media steers clear of.  Everyone knows about it, but the left wing media just doesn't mention it.  So when I mentioned these subjects, did I out Pelosi and Biden?  Surely the answer is no.

Fake outrage over fake news is just so ......................FAKE.
