It's all in the spin ... again
« on: May 28, 2019, 12:44:31 AM »
https://abc11.com/1-year-old-north-carolina-boy-killed-in-golf-cart-accident/5318951/

This source is a local ABC affiliate, but the story is from the Associated Press. Golf cart overturns, child is killed. It's a very sad story, no question.

Note the dateline: Mooresville, NC. Then note how the only mention of anything like a location is "north of the Trump National Golf Club on Lake Norman, approximately 35 miles (56 kilometers) north of Charlotte." But ... the Trump National Golf Club isn't in Mooresville, it's six miles away, on a peninsula in the middle of the lake. So why is there no mention of where the accident actually happened, but Trump's golf club is mentioned prominently?

My guess is to convey an impression that the accident happened ON Trump's golf club property, and that Trump is therefore responsible for the death of a child.

Yeah, yeah ... need to reinforce my tinfoil headgear.

The kid escaped from Trump's cages, of course.

He was fleeing one of Trump's child-catcher squads . . .
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Silly... Trump doesn't employ child catchers...

He subcontracts that out to Russia.
