While this is an opinion piece, notice the headline.  Flat out, bald faced lie but a lot of people will run with it.  If you read through the article you will find 'it's reported' and 'sources say' but not ONE fact to back it up.  These people are seriously sickening and their agenda will not succeed.

So, you openly admit it is not news, then use it as an example of fake news.  Ok, if that works for you.

By the way, did you know that the Observer was owned by Jared Kushner?

Yes, I used it as an example of how 'fake news' is born.  I did not post it as anything but what it is.  As for Kushner, no.

I think it's because when you invest with a broker you put your money into corporations and entities that you may not even know you've invested in. Does Kushner own the Observer outright?

Apparently Kusher does own the Observer.  The article is stil garbage though. Edited to add this from Wikepedia:

In 2007 Jared Kushner began acquiring and merging several print and online media publications into the Observer brand, including New York Observer, BetaBeat, Gallerist, NY Politicker, SCENE Magazine and PolitickerNJ.[15][16] These acquisitions became integrated into the website observer.com (Gallerist was integrated in September 2014, PolitickerNY in March 2014, BetaBeat in January 2015, and PolitickerNJ in August 2016).[17]

In March 2012 Observer Media launched Commercial Observer, a commercial real estate publication.[18] The organization has since received various awards, including "NAREE's 65th Annual Real Estate Journalism” award,[19] "Best Team Report Silver” award (2013),[20] and "Best Weekly Newspaper Report Silver” award (2014).[21] The Commercial Observer publishes at commercialobserver.com and also publishes weekly print edition.

No, of course not.  There is plenty of actual news out there.  The problem for the citizens is discerning what's factual and what's opinion and what's just plain garbage.  It can be very time consuming to figure it all out.

I have found that CNN is more of a Trump basher than some of the other news.

Yes, they are and that is because of the political leanings of those than run that organization.  It shouldn't be that way but, unfortunately, it is.  Go over to Fox and people like Sean Hannity are totally biased toward Trump.  That's not good either.  News should be news, not the pundit's opinion of the news.

Those who love truth don't buy these falsehoods. 
It's like political activism itself. It is self-defeating to pursue an issue based on a lie. Because there is no truth to the issue, acting to change something about the status of what is a lie is a waste of time being the issue itself does not actually exist. Because it is a lie first. Nothing actively positive can build off that in the name of change or repeal because a lie invalidates the need for anything to be done. Save to expose the lie with the truth. 

The left that is aligned against this President and America and our national security are traitors in spirit. Donald Trump is a son of God. And proving himself to be a great leader. As NATO found out when President Trump called out those member nations in the arrears. While stating the fact that those debts cause America to pay more and that isn't fair to our country or our tax payers. 

Mike Rogers is the latest traitor. The good thing about these type opinion pieces or the articles delivering lies is, we know traitors by their name. And news outlets that break the law, like CNN, too. 

We're told to be subject to our governing authorities. We don't believe lies about a son of God. That's why the left media will fail. Because they aren't aware the majority Christian nation they're lying to live by a higher standard. :)
