#JOURNALISM:

Lying on behalf of genocidal racists is pretty on brand for the WashPost.

– there are no farmer murders in SA, that’s a myth.
– Okay there are, but it’s not racial <- you are here.
– okay it is racial, but that’s a good thing.

The eternal msm news arc advanced one step today.

Trump “ambushed” the president of South Africa by playing a video montage of South African leaders calling for White genocide.

The media is complicit. pic.twitter.com/zTNqAE0OIf

I’m so old, I can remember when the entire left, including former President Obama, still believed in “speaking truth to power.”

Old and busted: "Poucing."
New and bold: "Ambushing"

ANOTHER UPDATE (FROM GLENN):

The Trump team excels at getting people to tell on themselves.
