This weekend, the Wall Street Journal‘s Carole Lee wrote a perfectly accurate story about Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates pledging to donate $100 million to a World Bank fund for women entrepreneurs. The article noted that the fund was Ivanka Trump’s idea and that she was at the event where the pledge was announced.

When Wall Street Journal reporter Rebecca Ballhaus tweeted out a link to her colleague’s story, she spun it in such a way as to add inaccuracies. First she reclassified a World Bank fund as a fund belonging to Ivanka Trump...

Then she claimed that the donation from the two countries were therefore akin to what Trump pilloried Hillary Clinton for...

The false information about the donation was also spread by journalists at other media outlets and liberal actor George Takei. As Sohrab Ahmari noted, “It went from a donation to the World Bank (the truth) to ‘Ivanka Fund’ and now ‘Ivanka’s charity'” courtesy of Takei

according to outlets like WSJ, Buzzfeed 2.0, Nyslimes etc, along with hypocritical mental midgets like Takei, the World Bank is now owned by Ivanka Trump :wacko:

The brother of slain Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich wrote a letter on Tuesday to the executive producer of Sean Hannity's Fox News show pleading with him to find "decency and kindness" in his heart and stop spreading an unproven conspiracy theory about the unsolved murder.

"Think about how you would feel losing a son or brother. And while dealing with this, you had baseless accusations of your lost family member being part of a vast conspiracy," Aaron Rich wrote in the letter to "Hannity" executive producer Porter Berry, a copy of which was provided to CNN.

"As the family, we would hope to be the first people to learn about any such evidence and reasons for Seth's death," he added. "It is a travesty that you would prompt false conspiracy theories and other people's agendas rather than work with the family to learn the truth."

Rich was shot to death last July in the streets of Washington, DC. The Metropolitan Police Department continues to investigate the murder and police say there is evidence to suggest Rich was the victim of a botched robbery.

But for months, right-wing media outlets have floated unproven theories that Rich was the person who provided Wikileaks with thousands of internal DNC emails, and suggested his death was retribution for the supposed leak. No real evidence has been provided to support such claims.

The theory resurfaced with a vengeance last week, in part due to an incorrect Fox News story the outlet has yet to retract. Hannity and other Fox News personalities seized on the story and have pushed the discredited theory.

Hannity taking his shit credibility even further down. It saddens me that so many millions take him seriously.

Everyone is talking about Trump "giving away state secrets" to Duterte today, but we already knew about the fucking submarines in April.

Article only mentions one sub, same report that was made by CNN around the same time. The reuters report mentions 2 subs. So did trump confuse the USS Carl Vinson with a sub, or did he brag about a second unknown sub that wasn't supposed to be talked about?

Unless the second sub he was bragging about was the USS Cheyenne that was in japan as well? is trump confusing south korea with japan now or is there a third unknown sub?
