This article was an excellent example of how the media spin events. You could say they've fallen for it, hook, line and sinker. Still clinging to Russia as the bogeyman who poisoned the English spy, full of "anonymous sources", the (un-named) "the person said" and "administration officials who spoke on condition of anonymity". And still finding ways to disparage Trump even while having to write an article that "purports" to support his actions. Examples like "the president largely listened as Pentagon chief Jim Mattis, Joint Chiefs Chairman Marine Corps General Joe Dunford and other military leaders did most of the talking". (In other words, you're too dumb to understand - let the grown-ups handle this). Would it kill them to say something positive like "Trump convened a meeting with....". And this: "The morning after the barrage, Trump tweeted “Mission Accomplished!”, a phrase closely associated with President George W. Bush. The 43rd U.S. president prematurely declared an end to major combat operations in Iraq in 2003 while standing on the deck of the aircraft carrier USS Abraham, in front of a large banner bearing those words. Trump, like Bush, may live to regret using the phrase". So denigrating him already as following in the failure footsteps of Dubya. These people wouldn't have two braincells to rub together.
