There is NO question in my mind that @BrianStelter had no intention of lionizing or butching-up al-Baghdadi's rep by arguing Trump made up the claims of "crying and whimpering" by that terrorist dick. He was trying to make a point about Trump. https://buff.ly/2oGIFm4

Calling it a "lie" is almost as big a stretch as referring to that joke photoshop as a "doctored" photo. It's a characterization meant to create the most negative impression possible, not a mere reporting of fact. Can you prove he *didn't* snivel? AND SPEAKING OF SPIN...

@BrianStelter says GOP is ok with Trump "spinning up these stories, even about U.S. military action." Brian that's gratuitous hype. As if it somehow denigrates the military! Don't invoke the honor or ethos of the military if you don't get it. LOOK HERE'S THE THING...Show this thread -
Demeaning that terrorist is superior to defending him. It's good he died badly. It's good his name is dragged through the mud. It's good to humiliate him and his shredded corpse. When you push back on his being a coward, like it or not, you're defending him. I KNOW, I KNOW...

I know you think it's about Trump telling lies easily and often. But look what zeal has brought you to. Look what you're forced to defend! You're stuck explaining how you don't *like* a terrorist you're just saying he didn't cry and whimper. Dude! THAT'S NOT WINNING...

Y'all have to quit dying on these crazy hills! The whole of media. Use better judgment. Who is even the audience for this? Who do you think is going to suddenly realize some fact or truth about which they were unaware? Nobody! It's just grist for the mill. I'M JUST SAYIN.

No, Caleb. It's about a guy who had a huge win, & still couldn't help but lie about it, even though the truth would have served him brilliantly. If he'll lie about that- what else will he lie about? You, of course, know that- but I get NeverTrump don't pay like pro-Trump does.
