Bob Corker: I now understand why Trump calls the media 'fake news'

I dont believe there is a single senator/congressman that doesnt know the media is biased.

Progressive's are fighting a war of wits with no intelligence so all they have is falsehoods... With the msm being inundated with progressives and their biggest and most lethal weapon being deceptions, it is imperative the majority of "news" be vetted with precision...

From the linked article in the OP:

Reports last week said Corker suddenly switched his vote to “yes” on the tax bill after a provision was added that would benefit people with real estate holdings, like Corker.

Below is CNN's reporting on the matter.

• Hatch insists that real estate provision wasn't added to win Corker's vote - CNNPolitics
  
  

  According to Hatch, Corker and his staff never contacted the Senate Finance Committee about including the provision.

  Corker rejected that he'd flipped his vote because of the provision and said he wasn't even aware of how the bill structured taxes for real estate limited liability corporations when he announced his support Friday. Instead, he demanded Sunday night that Hatch provide the reasons the tax break was included and release them publicly.

  It takes a great deal of imagination -- and likely no small amount of partisanship -- to argue that a provision that has been public for over a month, debated on the floor of the House of Representatives, included in a House-passed bill, and identified by JCT as an issue requiring a compromise between conferees is somehow a covert and last-minute addition to the conference report.

And here is Fox's coverage: Corker, after backing reconciled tax bill, claims he wasn't aware of new provision: report.
