ANN ALTHOUSE ON FAKE NEWS: WaPo’s “What the latest James O’Keefe video leaves out” attests to the absence of unfair, out-of-context quotes. “See what’s missing? There’s absolutely nothing saying that Bonifield’s statements were edited to distort or take anything out of context or encourage misinterpretation. There’s nothing on Farhi’s list that makes us feel we need the unedited footage to be fair to Bonifield and CNN. Every single thing is about additional facts that can be presented to us without access to the complete footage that Project Veritas holds in its possession. These additional facts are perfectly easy for Bonifield or CNN or The Washington Post to share with us, including the identity of the Project Veritas operative and how he got access to Bonifield. Obviously, Bonifield knows that. . . . Let’s talk about all of it. But let’s recognize that Bonifield really made those statements and — from what I can see so far — there was nothing unfair about how they were presented in the edit we got yesterday.”

JOURNALISM: Narrative On Killing Of Muslim Girl Crumbles As New Details Emerge Of Alleged Killer. “In the aftermath of the brutal beating and death of a teenage Muslim girl in Virginia, liberal activists and some civil rights organizations rushed to frame the killing as a hate crime. . . . The storyline began to collapse when The Daily Caller and other outlets reported that the alleged killer, Darwin Martinez Torres, was not a white supremacist bigot, as some alleged, but rather a 22-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador. . . . Already teetering, the narrative collapsed completely Tuesday, when new details about Torres’ background emerged in media reports. As it turns out, Torres allegedly killed Hassanen not because he didn’t ‘accept’ Muslim Americans, but because he is a suspected gang member with a history of violence toward women. A week before Torres was arrested for the murder, he allegedly beat and sexually assaulted a Loudoun County woman, according to a Child Protective Services report shared with the Washington Post. The woman told emergency room staff that a man punched and kicked her in the presence of a child, and that the assailant, whom she declined to identify by name, was a member of the violent MS-13 street gang.”
TRUMP SUPPORTERS ARE JUST FINE WITH THIS REACTION: Angry White House reporter: ‘I can’t take it anymore!’ The most painful thing about the Trump Presidency for a lot of the political class is the realization that a huge number of Americans don’t like it, and in fact regard it as a mixture of evil and incompetent.
