Should we be surprised that the mainstream media, WALL STREET JOURNAL, would have in its employ a reporter/creator of fake news.

As is the case of reporter Rebecca Ballhaus who dispatched a tweet misrepresenting her article, “Saudi Arabia, U.A.E. Pledge $100 Million To Word Bank’s Women Entrepreneurs Fund.”

Ballhaus, a propagandist inferred in a tweet that Ivanka Trump was engaging in pay to play scam (not true) which was picked up by the pathological liars on the left who attacked the Trumps, called for resignations, the usual fake news without fact checking.

The false story started with a Wall Street Journal reporter Rebecca Ballhaus misrepresenting an article from her own outlet. The story, “Saudi Arabia, U.A.E. Pledge $100 Million To Word Bank’s Women Entrepreneurs Fund,” says that the president’s daughter proposed the creation of the fund, but “Ms.Trump doesn’t control it or raise money for it.”

Ballhaus, however, said in a tweet that it was “Ivanka’s Women Entrepreneurs Fund.” Reporters ended up picking up on the tweet, and CNN’s Jim Sciutto wrote, “This is virtually identical to what Trump and others in GOP criticized Clinton Foundation for.” His tweet received nearly 10,000 retweets[…]

The Clintons? Really?  No, the Trumps are nothing like the Clintons. The article was picked up by The Hill and Market Watch among others only too thrilled to push a lie.

After the fool’s parade, Market Watch posted the following note.

Although Ivanka Trump was behind the idea of the World Bank fund, she reportedly doesn’t control it or raise money for it

(Editor’s note, updating Saturday report: The World Bank on Sunday confirmed the $100 million pledge at its event attended by Ivanka Trump.)

It is time to start suing these pigs.  Their intent is to do irrevocable harm.

UPDATE: It is now being reported by Townhall.com, WSJ attempted to correct the misconception.

Wall Street Journal contributor Sohrab Ahmari could only roll his eyes as he tried to correct the misconception.

In fact, if you click on the piece in question, the fact is right there in the opening paragraph.

The World Bank announced Sunday at an event with Ivanka Trump, the U.S. president’s daughter and senior White House adviser, that Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates have pledged a combined $100 million to a fund that will assist women entrepreneurs and small business owners.

To summarize: The Women Entrepreneurs Fund is being championed by Ivanka, but it’s not her charity.

I’m absolutely delirious in my dislike for the Associated Press.

And it’s all about honesty and dishonesty.

Now, personally I’ve never known Mr Manafort to lie, but I suppose he has uttered an untruth here and there, especially in his term as (unpaid) campaign manager for Donald Trump (March-August) in 2016. Why we know this is because all of Trump’s campaign staff lied during those months.

How do we know this?

Just ask the Associated Press. Or CNN. Or the New York Times, etc, etc.

I know you’re thinking, in this day and age, there are many sides to the truth. But in fact there is usually only one in any given set of circumstances. Courts of law and the Rules of Evidence, while allowing many versions of the truth to be sworn to, provide rules that a jury can only find one to be the superior truth, and that all must abide by that finding.

In many parts of the world, for centuries, this rule of law has defined civilization. In America, as well as other free societies, the media has always been (sort of) exempt from this rule, while still subject to certain natural laws and punishments that just natural follow when they step too far out of line with the truth in trying to mold public opinion.

Next to corrupt politicians, card sharks and drummers of whiskey cut with kerosene, I think local editors were the most likely liars to find themselves tied to the front end of a cow-catcher, or being tarred and feathered with hot oil. Like the ancient biblical tradition of throwing prophets who turned out to be wrong over a cliff, I think being honey-dipped, at least the cuffs of one’s fine $500 Armani, is a tradition worth recapturing[…]
