The Top Fake News Stories of 2018
All of the usual suspects are among the top winners, including the Washington Post, CNN, and the New York Times.
We’ve listed the top ten of over 30 fake news stories that made it into the Daily Caller’s list:
1. Washington Post blamed the death of a 7-year-old migrant girl on Border Patrol
The paper disgracefully blamed U.S. Border Patrol for the death of the little girl, despite the fact that her own father praised the agency for doing everything they could to help her. The full timeline of events also paint a different picture than what the Post portrays.2. CNN and the Hill both reported on a sexual assault claim against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh without mentioning that the claim had been quickly retracted.
The Hill eventually deleted a tweet about the claim and CNN updated its story.3. The Boston Globe had to correct it’s story about Elizabeth Warren and admit she’s even LESS Native American than they had thought.
The paper initially stated that the Massachusetts senator was between 1/32 and 1/512th Native American, but had to issue a correction stating she was actually between 1/64th and 1/1,024th Native American.4. The New York Times shamefully reported that former U.N.
Ambassador Nikki Haley purchased expensive curtains for her New York apartment.In reality, the $52,000 curtains were approved in 2016 and the ambassador had no say in the matter.5. The media still blames Republicans for the Steele dossier.
The Daily Caller points out that so-called reporters such as CNN’s Jim Sciutto, MSNBC’s Katy Tur, and MSNBC’s Ari Melber all perpetuated the falsehood that the GOP was responsible for the salacious, unverified, anti-Trump dossier. In reality, the research conducted by ex-British spy Christopher Steele and eventually compiled into the dossier was solely paid for by the DNC and Clinton campaign.6. A CNN analyst published a “dubious” report about more unsubstantiated Brett Kavanaugh claims.
The DC points out, “CNN political analyst and Sentinel editor Brian Karem published a report in September claiming that ‘Montgomery County investigators’ were looking into an additional allegation of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.Local police disputed that they were investigating any claims, and Karem later updated his reporting to indicate that his sources were not police, but rather random ‘investigators in Montgomery County.'”7. Just one day after Sen. Ted Cruz did a 15 minute interview with CNN, the network claimed he was “scared” to appear on their channel in the wake of the Parkland, Florida school shooting....
Mitt Romney called jealous, vengeful for crucifying Trump in New Year’s op-ed, months after begging for his endorsement
Romney — whom Trump rejected when he begged to be Secretary of State — is apparently still holding a grudge at having had to jump through hoops like a show poodle, only to be rejected for the Cabinet post.
On January 1, Romney exacted his petty revenge in a WaPo op-ed, where he suggested that President Trump should care more about what liberal leaders in Europe (which is a mess) think than stand by his pro-America agenda.
“The Trump presidency made a deep descent in December. The departures of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly, the appointment of senior persons of lesser experience, the abandonment of allies who fight beside us, and the president’s thoughtless claim that America has long been a ‘sucker’ in world affairs all defined his presidency down.
His conduct over the past two years, particularly his actions this month, is evidence that the president has not risen to the mantle of the office.
It is not that all of the president’s policies have been misguided. He was right to align U.S. corporate taxes with those of global competitors, to strip out excessive regulations, to crack down on China’s unfair...
