The journalism industry continues to cover itself in glory at the DNC, with essentially every mainstream press outlet debasing itself in pursuit of getting Kamala Harris elected. Long-time reporter Judy Woodruff provided the latest example when she appeared to make up a story involving Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to Woodruff, who was anchoring PBS News’ live coverage from the DNC, Trump colluded with the Israeli prime minister to stop a ceasefire deal in Gaza because it would “help” Harris. Here are her original comments, which occurred on Monday evening.
WOODRUFF: The reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone with the prime minister of Israel urging him not to cut a deal right now because it’s believed that would help the Harris campaign. I don’t know where, I don’t know, who knows whether that will come about or not, but I have to think the Harris campaign would like for President Biden to do what presidents do, which is to work on that one, and maybe there are some other domestic issues that, you know, they’d like to see come home.
That’s quite the accusation, and one you’d think a seasoned reporter wouldn’t make without impeccable sourcing. It smacks of the Russian collusion hoax, being yet another claim that Trump is somehow using foreign sources to “interfere” in the election.
Notably, Trump advising Netanyahu not to take a deal with Hamas would be smart policy given Hamas is a terrorist organization that needs to be destroyed as a governing force in Gaza, but that’s beside the point. The story wasn’t true, with both sides denying any such discussions took place.
Even with the denials from both parties, Woodruff backstroking on her report, and both news agencies not reporting the phone call took place. Some idiot liberals will still believe it took place. The “I hate Trump” mentality prevails !!!
