But
the FACT is no Eagle player ever kneeled during the national anthem.
It's another Fox News lie. And the pictures Fox showed of Eagle players
kneeling were NOT during the national anthem but rather during prayer gatherings well before the game and anthem -- meaning Fox News purposely showed pictures
out of context to prove their (false) narrative. Outrageous.
Fox
does this all the time, I see it every morning, lies and distortions to
mislead viewers. They violate Journalism 101 ethics regularly. The sad
truth is too many Americans rely on Fox for supposedly real news and
actually believe what they're being told, never fact-checking (as I do).
The FACT is most Eagles players had
refused to show up at the White House because they disagreed with Trump
on many political issues. Reportedly only 9 out of 70 Eagles were going
to show, and because that made Trump look bad (which can NEVER happen),
he cancelled the visit. It had NOTHING to do with kneeling and the
national anthem, but that is what Trump tweeted and that is what Fox
News conveyed to their viewers.
Speaking
of facts, I'm still numb about Trump saying he can pardon himself. Yes, we have a president who has decreed himself a king, above
the law. If he commits a crime, it doesn't matter, he believes he can
just pardon himself. Imagine if Obama had said this, or Hillary as president, there would be nonstop calls for impeachment by Fox News and Republicans. But with Trump, nothing, silence.
The word "hypocrisy" has lost all meaning at this point.....
