Happy birthday! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! The gifts just keep coming from the lying left media.

Check this out. The correction is at the link.

The New York Times issued a correction on Tuesday, admitting that it had reported as fact a Tweet posted on a satirical Twitter account that poses as the North Korean government.
“The New York Times mistook a tweet from the North Korea parody account DPRK_News as real,” the Gizmodo online blog reported.

The New York Times story that was published on Tuesday said:

On Wednesday morning, [Kim Jong-un] taunted the United States, saying the launch was a Fourth of July ‘gift’ to the Trump administration,” the Times reported and then quoted the fake account.

‘We should send them gifts once in a while to help break their boredom,” [Kim Jong-un] said, according to the North Korean state-run news agency.

The original New York Times story said: “On Twitter early Wednesday, the North Korean government belittled the joint exercise as ‘demonstrating near total ignorance of ballistic science,’” citing the fake Twitter account’s comment on the U.S. and South Korea responding to North Korea’s ballistic missile test with a military exercise along the Korean Peninsula’s east coast.

When I understand some outlet is not telling the truth I stop following and listening to them. When I know that we've gone from 50 some odd companies in the US media landscape in the 1980s to just 6 major multinational corporations now, I know the US media machine is nothing but corporate state PR. When a “news” organization has nothing better to do that cover tweets, I don’t pay attention to them anymore; pointless. When I know the US media is flat out lying about everything including endless wars, I understand my information will have to come from some other source. It’s all pretty simple and intuitively obvious to even the most casual of observers, but partisanshitheads are not very observant.

Notice who published it first.

The NYT.

We're still waiting for fox, britebart, info wars, or any of the other alternative facts sites to won up to a lie or a mistake.

If you find one, be sure to post it.

Not to worry. The New York Times is in a death spiral and won't even be irrelevant much longer.

Haste la vista, baby!
