The Washington Post Has Outed Their Source for the Bogus Trump Phone Call Story
It's Time for CNN and Others to Do the Same
The alleged contents of this conversation had been part of the national conversation ever since January 9 when Washington Post reporter Amy Gardner published a story claiming, based on a single anonymous source, that President Trump had attempted to pressure Ms. Watson into creating evidence of fraud where all right-thinking people know that all voting in Georgia, especially in Fulton County, was totally on the up-and-up.
The story blew up. It slid neatly into the Pantheon of Evil Acts By Trump worshiped by the left, the media, and NeverTrump. Through the miracle of journalisming…the anonymously sourced story was quickly and independently confirmed by NBC, ABC, USA Today, PBS, and CNN….
[The source isJordan Fuchs- the deputy secretary of state.]
Fuchs is Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s former campaign manager, both for his successful 2015 run for the Georgia legislature and his 2018 run for Secretary of State. She’ll have to answer for her own motives in making up a conversation and seeking out a national media outlet to distribute the falsehood. …
If Fuchs energized the communications shop inside the Secretary of State’s office to hit multiple outlets, then it starts looking like Raffensperger knew, or should have known, what was going on. If everyone lied about sourcing and relied on the Washington Post (this is my favorite theory), then we have a master class in how anonymous sources are used in the traditional media.
