Why did the news media cover up the Bowling Green Massacre? Why?

Tonight, Kellyanne Conway told Chris Matthews:

I bet it's brand new information to people that President Obama had a six-month ban on the Iraqi refugee program after two Iraqis came here to this country, were radicalized, and they were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre. Most people don't know that because it didn't get covered.

Here was Matthews' response: "Let's talk about the major strategic goal of this administration." A better response would have been: "#######? There was never a massacre in Bowling Green. Are you out of your goddamn mind?"

In case you're wondering, your memory hasn't short-circuited. There was no massacre in Bowling Green that the media inexplicably failed to cover. A couple of Iraqi refugees were arrested for trying to send money and weapons back home to Iraq. The Obama administration subsequently tightened up the vetting for the refugee program. That's all.

And this was five years ago.

Honest to God, these people will say anything. Soon we're going to be hearing about the poisoning of the town reservoir in Terre Haute that killed thousands but was covered up by the Clinton Foundation. And how Obama responded by rounding up every refugee in the country and shipping them off to camps in Alaska. And then Iran nuked the camps, but it was all hushed up because Obama was afraid of antagonizing the ayatollah.

It's absolutely dangerous. People need to call them out on this more often.

 

I forget who suggested it (one of the Comedians), but they should start running interviews late. Don't play them live, play them a few hours later and then every time something crazy is said you pause the video, provide the evidence/truth, and then restart.

yep, the media need to figure out that no matter how they attempt to coddle trump & co so as not to anger the beast, there's no winning. anything trump perceives as criticism will be met with 'media source xyz is fake news, poor performance, i am much better and the one true source of true fact".

Well..... no one wants to tell her that the real bowling green massacre is that thick plaster of makeup she calls her face (girl you got to do something about that because soon I'm going to start rubbing at the screen with a Wet-One) so who is going to correct her when she lets a fast one slip out?

 

Meh. Alternative facts again?

I agree very dangerous because trump and his supporters actually believe this stuff and then react on it.

Surely there must be someone here to take Kellyanne's side.

 

Bueller? Bueller?

[Merle 458]

She's apologized about her error.

nope, not good enough. if hc, bo, sr and jc have to apologize for the 'lie' - then miss kellyanne can't call her lie an 'error'. 

[Merle 458]

I agree. Apologizing about a lie 4.5 years after the fact ain't good enough.
