Fake news?

Or, its because the guy corrected himself within an hour. But feel free to spin us a nice cool story

You know I have plenty of people in my 'sphere of webitude' that are across a wide range of liberalism, socialism, even a couple of well meaning communists here and there - this is the first I've heard about an MLK bust being moved.

Also, got to love that little gem from the new press sec:

"A reminder of the media danger of tweet first check facts later" - does that apply only to media, or presidents also?

Like reporting on the phony story of the woman who said she was groped in first class or the 13 year old child that was raped by Donald Trump or even BuzzFeed bullshit about pissing on Obama's bed that was pimped by CNN.

The trend is, for the Trump haters, to write the dirty story first then shrug their shoulders and say oh well.

If weekly world news runs a story about Obama putting together his own Army of brown shirts that's one thing. If the New York time runs with it and then says oops it's completely different.

Trump has to try and learn to be more thick skinned, but I doubt he will be. The press will exploit this weakness at every opportunity. He needs a strong person to tell him the way it is and how to respond. So far no one has taken on t hat responsibility it seems.

Any rich man is going to have a big ego. I think it's difficult for him to let all the slander and libel slide, and I understand that because it is slander and libel, but it's not going away. He's gonna have to be able to ignore it or he's gonna implode.

Especially since the guy is the sith lord of libel and slander himself

Slander isn't calling Rosie O'Donnell a fat pig. Slander is saying someone is guilty of rape and sexual assault, which is a crime, with no conviction.

Hey, Breitbart said it

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/06/19/donald-trump-king-of-trolling-his-critics-should-be-the-internets-choice-for-president/

and Trump was the "internet's" choice. But I feel "they" will quickly get bored again. At this point last year Ed was just jokingly supporting Trump. A lot can change.

Well, since you brought it up...

wait, ... he didn't refer to them by name, your point is feeble.

Just because you and others "think" he was saying they committed

the acts, doesn't mean diddley dung.

From the article:

...Incredibly, 14 years after their sentences were vacated based on DNA evidence and the detailed and accurate confession of a serial rapist named Matias Reyes, Mr. Trump has doubled down.

“They admitted they were guilty,” he said in a statement to CNN this month. “The police doing the original investigation say they were guilty. The fact that that case was settled with so much evidence against them is outrageous.”

Why the continued belief in the guilt of the Central Park Five, despite all the evidence to the contrary? Race and racism surely play their role. So does the cognitive trap that psychologists call anchoring and what we call first impressions: Mr. Trump quickly jumped to conclusions about their guilt, as did many in New York City.

And, as Mr. Trump pointed out, four of the five teenagers did confess to being at the scene of the rape. But false confessions are surprisingly common in criminal cases. In the hundreds of post-conviction DNA exonerations that the Innocence Project has studied, at least one in four of the wrongly convicted had given a confession.

In the case of the Central Park attack, the confessions were the only real evidence. DNA testing, a nascent technology in 1989, was used to compare a single sample found on the victim with the profiles of not only the Central Park Five, but also of many of the other kids they had been with in the park. There were no matches. The victim, when she awoke from a coma, had no memory of the attack.

That left only the statements from four of the teenagers: Raymond Santana, Kevin Richardson, Korey Wise and Antron McCray. The fifth, Yusef Salaam, might have confessed, but his mother interrupted the interrogation before he signed anything. A detective was nonetheless allowed to testify that Mr. Salaam had admitted to participating, though he’d given no formal statement..."
