FAKE NEWS: TIME'S MLK BUST LIE IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE MEDIA
The media tried to come up with its own version of the Obama Churchill story by going with an obvious racism smear. How better to hit Trump than by claiming that Martin Luther King's bust had been taken down. The timing was perfect. It had just been MLK day. We were headed for February.
The story couldn't get any better. Except it was a lie.
False Alarm
just more left wing propaganda

President Trump on Saturday
President Trump on Saturday attacked a Time magazine journalist for mistakenly reporting that a bust of Martin Luther King, Jr. had been removed from the Oval Office.
Trump called out the reporter, Zeke Miller, while speaking to staff at the Central Intelligence Agency, even though Miller quickly acknowledged and corrected the mistake the previous day.
“They said that ‘Donald Trump took down the bust — the statue of Dr. Martin Luther King.’ But it was right there. There was a cameraman that was in front of it,” Trump said, standing in front of the CIA’s Memorial Wall honoring the employees who died in the line of duty.
“So Zeke, Zeke from Time magazine writes this story about ‘I took down’ — I would never do that because I have great respect for Dr. Martin Luther King.
“But this is how dishonest the media is,” Trump continued. “Now big story, the retraction was like, where? Was it a line or do they even bother putting it in?”
In fact, the detail was included in a White House pool report about Trump’s first actions in the Oval Office as president.
Miller initially reported the King bust was missing. But minutes later he sent out a correction, saying the bust had been obscured by a door and a Secret Service agent.
He then sent out more than a dozen tweets correcting the mistake and apologizing, including one directed to White House press secretary Sean Spicer, who had called it “a reminder of the media danger of tweet first check facts later.”
“This is on me, not my colleagues. I've been doing everything I can to fix my error. My apologies,” Miller tweeted at Spicer.
“Apology accepted,” the spokesman tweeted back.

You mean false information (lie) like the biggest crowd ever to attend an inauguration. Or I would have won the popular vote in not for 3-5 million illegal votes for Clinton?

Dead2,
Dead2,
I think we can all agree that what Zeke Miller did was wrong. I don't know if there is any evidence regarding a possible motive for Zeke to knowingly design this story to hurt Trump. Can anyone share a copy of the original Tweet that Miller made regarding the MLK bust? Perhaps that may shed some light regarding his intention.
And members of the media are the only ones who have to acknowledge and correct false statements, while apologizing?
