Written by Nicholas Vetrisek<\/em><\/p>\n

Last week, The Atlantic<\/em>\u00a0ran a story<\/a> claiming that President Trump called dead war veterans “losers.” Of course, the accusations are complete lies and Jeffrey Goldberg, the author of the piece, made the whole thing up. This story is a new low in the depths that leftist “news” sites are willing to stoop.<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking at the article, the only evidence they provide is three anonymous sources. This is traditionally an unacceptable standard for journalism, but since Trump took office, “anonymous White House official” has become code for “whatever we want people to believe.” In addition to not having sources, Goldberg also provides no location for where Trump said it, and this is deliberate. If he gave a location, other people that were there besides the “three sources” could verify that the author is making things up.<\/span><\/p>\n
