NPR really thought they'd gotten a scoop on President Trump after his meeting with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
They found some pages left on a hotel printer and published them.
A state department staffer seems to have left behind 8 pages of info on a hotel printer about the Trump-Putin summit.

We published each of them.
See what they say for yourself: Trump-Putin documents left on hotel printer https://t.co/qFNNbFy9V5
Here's what they 'discovered:'
The first page in the printed packet disclosed the sequence of meetings for August 15, including the specific names of the rooms inside the base in Anchorage where they would take place. It also revealed that Trump intended to give Putin a ceremonial present.
'POTUS to President Putin,' the document states, 'American Bald Eagle Desk Statue.'
Pages 2 through 5 listed the names and phone numbers of three U.S. staff members as well as the names of 13 U.S. and Russian state leaders. The list provided phonetic pronouncers for all the Russian men expected at the summit, including 'Mr. President POO-tihn.'
Pages 6 and 7 in the packet described how lunch at the summit would be served, and for whom. A menu included in the documents indicated that the luncheon was to be held 'in honor of his excellency Vladimir Putin.'
So a menu and an agenda.
Some bang-up journalism there, NPR.
They deserve to be defunded.
CRÈME BRÛLÉE MY GOD.

The HORROR.
This is not news. There are millions of people making these for meetings every day. This is called a meeting agenda.

In fairness, what NPR does isn't journalism, so it works.

Thanks for getting that song stuck in this writer's head.
But there are some NPR fans who think this is a big deal.

That's standard diplomacy for high-level meetings like this.
His Excellency?

Give me a freakin break.
Also, this admin is so stupid they have to have a pronunciation guide for Putin? https://t.co/CUdPRkBFHu
Yes. That's standard, too.
Joe Biden needed stage directions, so take all the seats, PJ.
