The White House communications team came up with a strategy of handing over what they wanted the Washington Examiner to publish, just so the president could tweet it out and promote himself.

At least, that’s one take from the Washington correspondent for the Toronto Star, who noticed the correlation.

“Great moments in media: Trump’s team gives the Washington Examiner an ‘exclusive’ list of 205 supposed ‘historic’ accomplishments he will campaign on; the Examiner just publishes it in full; Trump tweets about it as if it came from the Examiner,” tweeted top reporter Daniel Dale.

SPOT ON!

Replying to @ddale8

I don't toss this out lightly, but we can only ignore it for so long. Let's be honest, this stuff is straight out of Joseph Goebbels' playbook. FOX News & the Washington Examiner are state-controlled media.

I read the news the other day in the CBC from Prince Edward Island about an RCMP officer that got hit in the knee by a drunk 70 year old man with a guitar when he tried to remove him from a Christmas party. Those are the kind of stories I want to read about. I'm tired of this crap...

the real truth will be THE news, and these so - called "accomplishments" will be laughable.

It is coming, and they know it. And they are trying to get in front of it by putting out bullshit like this that the base will believe. We have to continue to counter the lies with truth and we have to do it INSTANTLY, before the lies "stick". The biggest problem I'm seeing is that the daily lies come so fast and furiously that we are becoming numb - there are so many lies that it takes effort to confront them all, but it needs to be done. Every lie needs to be challenged and really - it needs to be done to his face.

How do the democrats plan to debate a chronic liar? We have to stop letting the lies create the false reality - or this will be what will be acceptable in politics forever more. It has to stop here.
