They (and most news papers) issue corrections and retractions all the time.

But not the Right, when caught lying they just grow the lie with each retelling.

A perfect example of GOP Hate Radio Fake News is the Exxon Valdez oiled harbor seals that were rehabilitated for $80,000 each and when released were eaten by a killer whale, as the fake news went circa 1998. Over time the seals became an otter and the Orca became a sea lion, then a shark and now back to an Orca/killer whale.

Here is the fake news Seal/otter lie in a couple of its forms from the Doctor Of Duplicity and reigning king of Fake News, MessiahRushie, and pay attention to all the details he puts into this completely fake story built on an original Urban Legend. He even gloats that his suckers never forget his Fake News/lies.

We begin with the original urban legend and follow it with Limbaugh's lies ending with the version he told just yesterday:

The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers. A minute later, in full view, they were both eaten by a killer whale.

August 5, 2008
RUSH: And our buddies, our buddies at CNN. They're preparing a retrospective special, ladies and gentlemen, on the disaster that was the oil spill at Prince William Sound and the Exxon Valdez. What they will not tell you is if you go up there today, you won't find any evidence of it other than the stupid memorials that human beings -- this is where oil was on the rock, this is where the otter got eaten by the shark, we threw it back in there -- the sea lion, whatever, ate the otter.

The $80,000 Sea Otter That Vanished in One Swallow
June 28, 2017
CALLER: Hi, Rush. Love your show. You talked about the oil spills today, and I remembered when I first listened to you, I think it was over 25 years ago, at that time you reported a story in Alaska where this otter was in an oil spill and it had oil all over its fur. So they took it in, they cleaned it up, they called in all sorts of consultants and college professors on ecology to feed it and everything. They cleaned it up. This was all over the papers then.

They had live TV cameras rolling and they went out on this long pier and they were gonna release the otter back into the ocean. So the cameras are rolling, the high school band is playing and the otter swims out, everybody’s cheering, and then along comes a killer whale and just gobbles it up. And I even remember what you said at the time, you said, “Hey, this killer whale is swimming around and sees the otter, ‘Oh, here’s lunch, and somebody’s even cleaned it for me.'”

RUSH: Right.

CALLER: I laughed so hard, I thought it was wonderful at the time.

RUSH: It’s amazing, powerful stories that people never forget.

Rush: So what happened was there was an otter. Folks, otters, when they’re in the water are the cutest little things. They’re rodents for the most part. They’re just giant rats, but they’re like squirrels, a tree rat. They look cute as opposed to rats. And the otters are in the water and their two little paws are sticking out and they’re looking up. Everyone loves ’em and they found one just soaked in Exxon Valdez oil.

So they rescued the thing and they took it away to clean it up, and they spent $80,000 cleaning up this one otter. The point of the story was the insurance company had to pay that money, $80,000 to clean up. And the day came where it was a successful project, they’re gonna release the otter back into Prince William Sound. And it was a momentous day for the community. It represented overcoming this ecological disaster. It meant saving an animal from the evil clutches of humanity behaving as it does, destroying the planet every day.

They let kids out of school. They had like high school bands and stuff. It was like a parade and they had the little otter in a cage and they’re rolling it down the street, eventually down to the pier or the dock where they’re gonna release it to great fanfare. And the mayor, everybody is making speeches about what a wonderful thing that had been done here in saving the otter and cleaning it up, it was a symbol of what we could all do when working together, when we can put everything aside and come together and kumbaya and work for one idealistic goal, to save animals from the evils of oil spills.

And they let the kids out of school, first graders, second graders, they’re so happy ’cause the otter is so cute. They even named the otter, I forget what the name was. It came time to release it, they lowered the cage, and after the cage was officially offshore, they opened the door to the cage and the otter swam out and it was sitting there like otters do on its back with its two front paws up looking cute as hell. And before anybody knew what had happened a giant orca came out of nowhere and swallowed the thing, just ate it like sushi, it was otter sushi.

And the music kind of didn’t stop immediately, kind of like when you had a record at 33 or 45 and you turned the power off, it slows down. And the kids were looking, “Mommy, Mommy, what happened? What happened?”

The usual long-winded bull shit, next time just spare us and give the link you cynical pos...

Atlantic Editor Fears Trump is Inciting Violence Against Liberal Reporters
He can’t be serious.
6.29.2017

News

Trey Sanchez


Since Donald Trump became the Republican candidate for president, we’ve seen a surge in liberal violence aimed at the Right. The mainstream media’s fervent ‘round-the-clock anti-Trump/GOP coverage has inspired unspeakable threats and acts of violence — to the point where Republican congressmen were targeted for assassination. But according to The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief, it’s the liberal press that should really be worried, because President Trump is whipping up a new strain of violence that will be unleashed by conservatives.

While speaking to Yahoo’s Katie Couric at the Aspen Ideas conference this week, Jeffrey Goldberg described his fears after Couric asked, “When the president constantly tweets that different newspapers, or examples of ‘fake news’ like The Washington Post or The New York Times, and accuses reporters of being ‘fake news’ at White House briefings or when he appears before reporters there, what’s your reaction?”

Goldberg said:

FAKE NEWS AND THE COUPLE WHO CAN'T AFFORD HEALTH CARE KILLING THEMSELVES
July 28, 2017

Daniel Greenfield

You've probably seen this story in its original uncorrected form.

Couple jump to their deaths because they 'can't afford' health care

A couple jumped to their death in Murray Hill early Friday. — Manhattan parents struggling to pay their doctor's bills jumped to their deaths early Friday

The corrected version makes it clear that's a lie. The suicide note has been made public and it mentions nothing about health care.

...

The new propaganda is destructible. It's built for an ADD readership. It reinforces a narrative without ever having to be true.

And it's everywhere.

FALSE CHOICE: ENDING DACA OR BUILDING THE BORDER WALL
President Trump doesn't have to choose. And he shouldn't.
August 30, 2017

Michael Cutler

Though there is no shortage of “fake news” appearing in the mainstream media, there are a number of reports claiming that members of the Trump administration are attempting to convince President Trump to renege on his campaign promise to rollback the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in exchange for funding for the construction of the border wall.

Before we consider this news, let’s be clear about the absolute need to secure the dangerous U.S./Mexican border. I have frequently compared securing that border with a wing on an airplane. Without a wing an airplane will not fly. However, a wing by itself goes nowhere. Though it has been estimated that nearly half of all illegal aliens did not run the southern border, and instead were admitted through America’s 325 ports of entry, securing that border is nonetheless a vital element of our immigration law enforcement system and national security.

The U.S./Mexican border is particularly dangerous because of endemic corruption of the Mexican government on all levels and the extreme level of violence in Mexico, both attributable to the Mexican drug cartels. Mexican government officials are given the choice of “silver or lead.” Either take a bribe (silver) or expect to be shot (lead).

That violence and potential for corruption flows across our border: The majority of violent crimes in the United States have a connection to the drug trade and drug addiction.

I recall years ago a top media personality being prosecuted for their part in an exclusive story that they reported. We need truth in news reporting re-establish as the law of the land.

From this article the reporter of the vandalism claims:
He went to a Confederate memorial at Wesley Bolin Plaza to talk about defaced memorials. When he got there he found the memorial defaced and a guy on a bicycle fleeing the scene. He called police and then reported on it.

Upon further investigation by this reporter:

.......watching the surveillance video from the capitol clearly shows the news van turn on its headlights and shine them at the back of the memorial. Then 1 minute later the suspect rides past the van in front of the headlight carrying 2 cans of spray paint. He goes around to the front of the memorial and spends four and a half minutes defacing it.


He then gets on his bike and rides TOWARD the van and headlights as he exits the scene. One minute later you see the news crew set up for the story.


I obtained further video showing the suspect arriving approximately 11 minutes before the news crew and is riding around the mall in the dark alone.


He isn’t defacing any monuments. Only after the news crew shows up and shines their headlights at the Confederate memorial does he approach and deface it.

WHY THE MEDIA ARE IN A NEVER-ENDING HUNT FOR RIGHT-WING VIOLENCE
The long list of hoaxes peddled by the media.
August 31, 2017

Ann Coulter

After I'd spent a decade begging Republicans, including a few presidential candidates, to take up the immigration issue, Donald J. Trump came along, championed the entire thesis of Adios, America

, and swept all contenders aside.

It's too late for the likes of Marco Rubio, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan to avoid humiliation, but if they don't want to keep making asses of themselves in public by, for example, praising today's version of the KKK, they should read my entire corpus of work, starting with Demonic

. (Trump somehow grasped the whole point of that book, too.)

The reason normal people are suspicious of the media's narrative on Charlottesville is that we've heard this exact same story many, many times before.

Facts on the ground:

-- Approximately every other year since forever, liberal hooligans have been rampaging through the streets, beating people up, setting off bombs, killing cops, smashing store windows, assassinating politicians and burning down neighborhoods -- against capitalism, Vietnam, Nixon, Wall Street, a police shooting, Trump, Starbucks, a sunny day.

-- Conservatives, mostly families, have generally avoided even the mildest forms of political protest, and, when they finally are driven to petition the government over their grievances, they pick up after themselves — at tea parties, townhalls, Trump rallies and so on.

Result: The entire media are constantly on Red Alert for the threat of Right-Wing Violence.

The explanation for this apparent madness is that the left -- both the scribblers and the shock troops -- bear all the characteristics of a mob, as set forth more than a century ago by the father of group-think, French psychologist Gustave Le Bon. No behavior of the left is mysterious if you've read Le Bon -- or "Demonic." In The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind

, Le Bon observed that the "complete lack of critical spirit" prevents crowds from "perceiving ... contradictions."

No matter the year or the circumstances, the media and their eunuch politicians are quick to blame any surprising violence on the Right-Wing Nazis of their imaginations -- from Lee Harvey Oswald (communist) to Jared Lee Loughner and James Holmes (psychopaths) to the two stabbing murders on a Portland train earlier this year committed by a Bernie Sanders supporter, whom the media -- to this day -- insist, all evidence to the contrary, was a Trump supporter.
