Hillary Clinton and Harry Reid are Democrats who have ironically and laughably been blasting the spread of βfake news.β
On that subject, Kurt Eichenwald tweeted last night that the crowd at a Donald Trump speech booed late astronaut and U.S. Senator John Glenn but later realized that wasnβt the case (the crowd reportedly booed a protester who had interrupted Trump as he spoke about Glenn):
I believe I was in error that Trump supporters booed Glenn. This seems to be 2 events at same time: Ppl booing Trump as he mentions Glenn.

Eichenwald deleted the inaccurate tweet, but not before it made the rounds quickly:

Clinton and Reid will NOT share the above as an example of β#FakeNews.β
I've seen video at this point. Absolutely no doubt whatsoever that @kurteichenwald misrepresented what happened. A protester interrupted.

@guypbenson @ScottInSC @JimmyPrinceton intentional. That's one method the left uses.

@JimmyPrinceton @ScottInSC And still he lies. They booed the guy interrupting Trump as he spoke of Glenn.

Says it all about deranged, out-of-touch #MSM. Actually thinks Trump supporters would boo John Glenn upon mention of the hero's death. https://t.co/l5unH72Drm

@JimmyPrinceton even his correction is wrong. @kurteichenwald is a hack.

@guypbenson MSM knows AND USES thisβ¦the big splashy front page story gets a lot more views than the follow up 3-sentence retraction/correction
