Former Bush press secretary points out hypocrisy of newspapers colluding to attack Trump
The former White House press secretary under former President George W. Bush pointed out the blatant hypocrisy in a coordinated effort by hundreds of newspapers to publish anti-Trump editorials, according to The Hill.
Ari Fleischer, in a tweet, reminded people that not long ago the mainstream media was criticizing Sinclair Broadcast Group stations for having anchors read a scripted anti-fake news message.
“The MSM, which loves to criticize Sinclair media when Sinclair has its TV stations carry the same editorial message, collude to act like Sinclair — so long as the message is anti-Trump,” Fleischer wrote. “Once again, the media doubles down on its own double standard.”
Sinclair had anchors read a “must-run” script (something that is common), warning against the harm of fake news and biased reporting. Deadspin created a video edit of the script showing dozens of anchors reading it. Here’s how the site characterized it:
The script, which parrots Donald Trump’s oft-declarations of developments negative to his presidency as “fake news,” brought upheaval to newsrooms already dismayed with Sinclair’s consistent interference to bring right-wing propaganda to local television broadcasts.
A Boston Globe-led effort resulted in hundreds of newspapers, large and small, publishing anti-Trump editorial pieces Thursday. Other participants included The New York Times, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and the San Jose Mercury News.
Trump addresses the ‘collusion’
President Donald Trump acknowledged the newspapers’ plan for the first time Thursday, attacking the publications for “collusion” and posting some inaccurate financial information about the Boston Globe.
“The Boston Globe, which was sold to the Failing New York Times for 1.3 BILLION DOLLARS (plus 800 million dollars in losses & investment), or 2.1 BILLION DOLLARS, was then sold by the Times for 1 DOLLAR. Now the Globe is in COLLUSION with other papers on free press. PROVE IT!” Trump wrote.
The Times actually bought the Globe for $1.1 billion in 1993, and sold in 2013 for $70 million, according to The Hill.
“There is nothing that I would want more for our Country than true FREEDOM OF THE PRESS,” Trump wrote in another tweet. “The fact is that the Press is FREE to write and say anything it wants, but much of what it says if FAKE NEWS, pushing a political agenda or just plain trying to hurt people. HONESTY WINS!”

Hungarian Govt: Sweden’s Leaders are ‘On the Side’ of Illegal Migrants
The Hungarian government has suggested Sweden’s political leaders are “on the side of [illegal] migrants” and in hock to “forces” in favour of mass migration.
Pál Völner, parliamentary state secretary of the justice ministry, issued the typically straightforward accusation in response to Sweden backing European Union efforts to thwart new transparency laws which would require NGOs receiving large sums of money to disclose their foreign-funded status — a move widely seen as being aimed at billionaire financier George Soros and his “network” of pro-immigration civil society organisations.
Mr Völner said Sweden’s leaders were “widely known to be pro-immigration” and has already “flooded” their own country with migrants.
He added that it was well-known that “foreign-funded migration organisations” were lobbying the Swedish ambassador to Hungary, suggesting this was the motivation for the Scandinavian country’s endorsement of EU interference in Hungary’s internal affairs.
The Hungarian insisted, however, that the Orbán government would continue to put the Hungarian people and their security ahead of all other considerations.

Trump Destroying ‘Old World Monetary Order' By Signing Off on Tariffs, Sanctions
US President Donald Trump's love of using tariffs and sanctions to get back at foreign governments is a game changer that is ultimately destroying "the old world monetary order," economist Mark Frost told Sputnik.
US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin revealed during a Thursday meeting at the White House that the US was prepared to slap Turkey with additional sanctions if Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan refused to release American pastor Andrew Brunson. This would be in addition to the US' sanctions on two top officials in the Turkish Cabinet last week and tariffs imposed on Turkish steel and aluminum, which sent the Turkish lira on a bit of a tumble.
Turkey and the US landed in an "it's complicated" relationship status after Ankara refused to release Brunson, who is accused of backing the failed 2016 coup. Citing failing health, Turkish authorities have released Brunson from prison and placed him on house arrest.
Frost told Sputnik Radio's Fault Lines on Thursday that Trump is changing the game on how officials view the power of tariffs and sanctions.
"What Trump has done is, he's changed the game. Used to [be], the game was: let's predict what other people are going to do," Frost told hosts Garland Nixon and Lee Stranahan. "Now, people are saying, ‘We don't know what people are going to do, so we're going to take a different way of looking at how we expect currency movements and things like that to happen.'"
"[W]hether you like it or whether you don't like it, Trump has basically destroyed the old world monetary order of how the world works," he added.
Although the move was later condemned by the White House, Ankara did respond to the US by initiating its own tariffs on imports of American cars, alcohol and tobacco.
"The tariffs from Turkey are certainly regrettable and a step in the wrong direction," White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters Wednesday. "The tariffs that the United States placed on Turkey were out of national security interest. Theirs are out of retaliation."
But just because Turkey put out its own tariffs against the US, it doesn't mean that those tariffs are going to do much, according to the economist. "Turkey, unfortunately, found itself in a trade war with the United States, and it cannot win it. They can't even touch us; their best hit to us would be a pinprick," he said.
And just because Turkey landed in this situation because of its refusal to release Brunson, the country's troubles shouldn't be blamed on Trump, as Ankara had been for some time "skating on monetary thin ice," according to Frost.
"They have a history of inflating their currency. From a fiscal perspective, Trump had nothing to do with this," he stressed.
Late Thursday, Trump fired off on Twitter, bashing Turkey for taking "advantage of the United States for many years" and calling on Brunson to represent the US as "a great patriot hostage."
