CNN displayed more courage than the BBC... if BBC's issue was lack of journalistic fortitude.
CNN Headline: "What the Ronald Reagan ad that got Trump so angry was really all about"
The CNN article didn't beat around the bush. CNN quickly covered 4 of the 5 Ws -who what when where -
" President Donald Trump has canceled trade negotiations with Canada over what he called a “fake” ad that featured parts of an anti-tariff speech delivered by conservative hero and former President Ronald Reagan. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute also said the ad misrepresented the former president’s words.
It wasn’t fake. It was edited. But Reagan really did spend a five-minute speech — an April 25, 1987, national radio address that the Reagan Library has published on YouTube — railing against tariffs. It was a full-throated expression of support for free and fair trade.
On the 5th W -why- they punted " It’s not clear why Trump called the ad “fake,”
WHY?
It's because he's a shrewd liar whose cult gobbles his bullshit as fast as it spews forth from his 10k gold-plated crapper.
He knows it's Grade A zone-flooding shit...but it's netting him a $300,000,000 million dollar jet upgraded with $750,000,000 taxpayer dollars for 4 years of hobnobbing with people way above the social station of a mediocre developer who married a soft porn model and used TV to effect a con like nobody has ever seen. .
