U.N. Report Faults Trump For Obama Poverty, Media Fall For It
Excerpt: Amid all the immigration hoo-ha, maybe you missed the uncritical mainstream media reports of a United Nations study faulting President Trump for poverty in America. Turns out, it's just more fake news. An uncritical Reuters headline says it all: "America's poor becoming more destitute under Trump: U.N. expert". The Hill's equally blase headline: "UN poverty official: Trump exacerbating inequality." The report — really a first-person narrative — released earlier this month, ripped President Trump for his "contempt" and "hatred of the poor." The report cited 18.5 million Americans who live in extreme policy, and massive U.S. defense spending at the expense of social programs. Only one problem: As Chuck DeVore, vice president of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, points out, the data on which the study was based came from 2016. (Wow, this is almost funny. A scathing report on how bad things are in the USA, all blamed on Trump, based on data from the Obama years? How stupid can these "reporters" be? Oops, it's not about stupid, it's about a heavily biased agenda that says to use anything at all in the attack. But this incident is nice in a way, it reveals beyond doubt the agenda. What's really stupid (in my opinion) is that there are plenty of things about Mr. Trump that people can legitimately criticize, but no, that's not dramatic enough, he has to be not just somehow objectionable in some things, he has to be Satan himself in all things. --Del)
