As Twitchy reported yesterday, lapdog media were in a collective breathless snit fit over “reports” that Donald Trump “lashed out at a baby” at one of his rallies. Fact check? FALSE.
Proving they truly didn’t bother to even check into it at all before running with the mountain-out-of-molehill stories? This guy:

Take a look at Toronto Star reporter Daniel Dale’s tweets:
Real fact check: Trump did not "eject" a baby. Mom was already walking baby out, right in front of me, when Trump made his comment.

Trump may have even seen the baby being walked out when he told her to get the baby out of here.
Anyway

No American “journalist” seemed to notice that nor ask him any questions. A fellow journalist who ATTENDED the rally. But, hey. That wouldn’t have made for a good frothing-at-the-mouth story and all. But wait … there’s more:
This "Trump kicked out baby" story has gone big. Not only did he not eject the baby, the baby came back soon after with a pacifier.

What? The baby wasn’t booted and banned for life? Dale wrote about it himself.
No, Donald Trump did not eject a baby. Here is what actually happened. How is this my real job https://t.co/sqFtqqhAQR

Sorry, sir. It’s because the American media has stopped doing their jobs.
And then this happened:

Geez Louise. Before getting all stompy foot at him, check out his whole Twitter feed. He is far from a biased defender of Trump.
