Because it must be said again, this, dear media, is why everyone hates you.

During immigration legislation negotiations, Trump singled out Haiti, El Salvador, and a handful of African countries, describing them as “shitholes,” or so claimed the Washington Post.

Their bombshell intel came from people who were not in the meeting but later briefed on the contents of said meeting, making their source on par with a game of telephone.

The remarks as reported didn’t pass the smell test, but that didn’t stop the press from losing their minds and going into full-blown outrage mode.

CNN couldn’t get enough and almost seemed to enjoy the opportnity to say “shit” on air:

Politicians denounced Trump, Anderson Cooper cried, and no one thought to ask whether or not Trump actually said was the WaPo accused him of saying. Because in the age of confirmation bias as a substitution for facts, why bother?

Meanwhile, the rest of us are sitting at home wondering why any of this is so difficult to comprehend.

Can we agree Trump’s alleged lack of tact is might be uncouth, but is not racist? Both are simultaneously possible. I don’t like Trump, but I cannot stand the press obsession with race and the endless attempts to prove he’s racist. — Kemberlee Kaye (@KemberleeKaye) January 12, 2018

Trump denied making any such comments in the context it was presented.

The language used by me at the DACA meeting was tough, but this was not the language used. What was really tough was the outlandish proposal made – a big setback for DACA! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 12, 2018

Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country. Never said “take them out.” Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings – unfortunately, no trust! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 12, 2018

Then his denials were panned as a sad attempt to brush off what we KNOW he said.

Thank God there remain a few people equipped with large megaphones who still care about the truth, even if it’s not favorable to a narrative.

So how and why is President Trump denying the remarks that he reportedly said? I have some clarifying reporting from a source familiar the meeting. I want to start by saying that this does not make what he said any more acceptable, but it might shed some light on it all. 1/ — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) January 12, 2018

The president did not refer to Haiti as a “shithole” country according to the source familiar with the meeting… though he DID say it about countries in Africa… What happened, the source says, is there was a conflation of two different remarks by the president. 2/ — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) January 12, 2018

First, when talking about “temporary protected status” countries as part of the immigration deal it was mentioned that Salvadorans, Hondurans and Haitians have that status. 3/ — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) January 12, 2018

“Haitians?” the president said. “Why do we need more Haitians? Take them out” —- meaning take them out of the deal. 4/ — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) January 12, 2018

Then in a separate part of the conversation when they were referencing the diversity visa lottery, President Trump referred to people coming from Africa as coming from “shithole countries.” Again, I’m not saying this is better. Just that this is what happened, per my source. 5/ — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) January 12, 2018

6/ So that might explain the kinda-pushback from POTUS today. -fin- — Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) January 12, 2018

As I’ve said a gazillion times (or so it feels), the endless virtue signaling and hair on fire lunacy of our political press corps has destroyed their credibility.

They’re so hellbent on proving what they believe to be true rather than reporting facts, that we spend most of our time correcting the record. And still, they haven’t learned.
