Shall we discuss the latest fake news coming from media? Which should we start with? The Reuters editor who blamed Trump for the Capital Gazette shooting or the Springfield Republican reporter that said Jarrod Ramos wore a MAGA hat?

Fake News: Exhibit A
ABC News’ Brian Ross — who was suspended last year as chief investigative correspondent for a faulty report on Michael Flynn — is leaving the network.
ABC suspended Ross last December for a month without pay for a botched report on ousted White House national security adviser Flynn that reported President Trump directed Flynn to make contact with Russian officials. The mistake even sent stocks tumbling, and ABC issued an apology saying: “We deeply regret and apologize for the serious error.”Comment

Real collusion
The Obama administration granted citizenship to 2,500 Iranians, including family members of government officials, while negotiating the Iran nuclear deal, a senior cleric and member of parliament has claimed.
Hojjat al-Islam Mojtaba Zolnour, who is chairman of Iran’s parliamentary nuclear committee and a member of its national security and foreign affairs committee, made the allegations during an interview with the country’s Etemad newspaper, cited by the country’s Fars News agency.
He claimed it was done as a favor to senior Iranian officials linked to President Hassan Rouhani, and he alleged the move sparked a competition among Iranian officials over whose children would benefit from the scheme.Comment

Apparently Martha’s Vineyard is a safe space.
We’ve reached peak hysteria
Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz said last week that his defense of President Donald Trump’s constitutional rights led to him being “shunned” by his own friends at a high-end seasonal destination.
The famed lawyer lamented the efforts to eject him from his social life at Martha’s Vineyard amid his outspoken criticism of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into the alleged collusion with Russia.
In an op-ed for*The Hill, Dershowitz, a frequent guest on Fox News, said that though he’s politically a liberal Democrat who voted for Hillary Clinton in addition to contributing “handsomely” to her campaign, his defense of civil liberties that could benefit Trump is too much to swallow for his social circle.Comment

Truth is a scary thing
“But that is not good enough for some of my old friends on Martha’s Vineyard. For them, it is enough that what I have said about the Constitution might help Trump. So they are shunning me and trying to ban me from their social life on Martha’s Vineyard."
“One of them, an academic at a distinguished university, has told people that he would not attend any dinner or party to which I was invited. He and others have demanded ‘trigger warnings’ so that they can be assured of having 'safe spaces' in which they will not encounter me or my ideas. Others have said they will discontinue contributions to organizations that sponsor my talks,” he added.Comment

The State Department had no comment for Fox News regarding the claim. The claim was made during an interview with Zolnour in the Etemad newspaper, and then cited by Iran’s Fars News Agency. According to the reports, around 30-60 Iranian elites live and study in the U.S..
“Though Zolnour did not mention anyone by name, several children of current and former Iranian officials live in the United States, including Ali Fereydoun, whose father Hossein Fereydoun is the brother of and special aide to Rouhani; and Fatemeh Ardeshir Larijani, whose father Ali Larijani is speaker of parliament.
There is no suggestion either of these people received citizenship in the wake of the Iranian nuclear deal. It’s also unclear if Zolnour meant citizenship or a green card.
The cleric’s claim could, in the U.S., fuel Republican complaints about the concessions made by the Obama administration during those negotiations – including not just sanctions relief, but the $1.7 billion payment supposedly tied to a legal settlement that coincided with the 2016 release of American prisoners.
In 2015, 13,114 people born in Iran were issued green cards, while 13,298 were issued one in 2016, according to the Department for Homeland Security. In 2015, 10,344 Iranians became naturalized, with a further 9,507 in 2016.”
Thanks to the current repressive regime in Iran, ordinary citizens there live in a hell zone. But having the elite receive favors could make the people even angrier.
“Many ordinary Iranians are surprised and feel betrayed that children of the regime officials live and work in the U.S.. The regime officials chant death to America but send their children to the U.S., away from the hell they have created in Iran over the past four decades.” Saeed Ghasseminejad, a research fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies
Ghasseminejad told Fox News that average Iranians want the US to deport them and don’t understand how they can get such favors when there is a travel ban in place in America.Comment
