Murdoch’s Paper to Team Trump: You Can’t Just Yell ‘Fake News’ to Get Out of This One (The Daily Beast)

The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board blasted the administration for trying to blame the media for Signalgate.

The Wall Street Journal editorial board warned President Donald Trump’s administration to stop trying to blame the press for its disastrous use of an unsecured group chat to coordinate military strikes in Yemen.

In a scathing op-ed published Wednesday night, the Journal blasted the administration’s “defensive insistence” that the chat didn’t disclose any “war plans,” calling it a “weak attempt at obfuscation.”

“The Administration seems to think it can bully its way through anything by shouting Fake News and attacking the press,” the op-ed said.

1. In literally every discussion I've seen on social media...

A throng of drooling KKKultists has been squawking that "they didn't share classified information." Again and again, with exactly the same phrasing. I'm sure that a great many are bots, but I know some of these assholes in real life, and they've once again chugged the koolaid.

If only that weren't a metaphor.

2. Can't they?

No one is going to investigate, let alone prosecute anyone for it. The cult is still the cult which, of course, means that if you’re upset about this, you’re just suffering from TDS.

We need the whole country to turn against these assholes and that’s simply never going to happen.
