This bizarre @AP fact check contradicts AP’s own reporting on Clinton campaign/DNC funding of the Steele dossier https://t.co/qln1vmVnj6 Oct 25, 2017: “Report: Clinton campaign and DNC helps fund Trump-Steele dossier” https://t.co/r8PVGJaU7Y pic.twitter.com/H6wHTEvG4I

This @AP fact check gets even more bizarre. Trump and Carter Page claim he is not a foreign agent, and then AP quotes the FISA warrant repeating unverified Steele dossier attesting that he is a foreign agent. But that FBI assertion is specifically the thing under dispute! pic.twitter.com/cnEUBC4oYY

This @AP “fact check” gets worse. It attacks Trump’s claim the FBI covered up the Clinton/DNC funding the Steele dossier in the FISA filing because FBI said he might have a political motive – as if that was sufficient disclosure for the court to know Clinton/DNC role! 🤦🏻♂️ pic.twitter.com/7wEhwzcuxh

It’s intentional. This way, liberals can cite this “fact check” as support for practically any argument. They simply have to hope no one read the entire article.
Facts being an alien subject to the MSM, Page being debriefed by IC after every trip never refusing to cooperate, assisting them in a case against Russian operatives, after all the contact with him before the election they would have figured out he was no spy.
FBI quoting MSM as sources when the MSM was quoting un-named FBI sources is quite bizzare in itself.
But facts are to be discarded if they are not in line with a narrative.
I heard from a friend who heard it from a friend who heard from another….
@kitt:
Not when you consider that, in regards to facts, they had absolutely nothing to use.
Two opposing sides brought me to support Donald in the primaries/general election.
1. Donald had great ideas and I trusted him.
This attracted me towards Donald.
2. The DC establishments and their MSM hated on him and lied against him.
This pushed me towards Donald.
Now, both sides continue and, thanks to even our enemies, Donald and I are tight.
@Bill589: Hillary had to be defeated at all costs. The fate of the nation depended on it.
I am sure I read back in ’83 AP said they were going to stop reporting lies as facts. I think they said” we will verify the authenticity of our sources henceforth.”
Maybe all the AP staffers of 36 years ago are dead.
