![]() ![]() ![]() “If it’s true” is an admission of malpractice. Then the biggest possible story was presented with the least possible evidence. The bigger the story, the higher the threshold of necessary evidence. Not so long ago, no respected journalist or news organization would go public with something unless they had enough evidence to reach the conclusion it was true. Many touted it as the Holy Grail while inserting the ridiculous phrase, “if it’s true.” Then there are the so-called journalists who swallowed the report without trying to confirm it themselves. Dems in Congress instantly pledged investigations. Much of the political class embraced the story without doubts because they wanted it to be true. While BuzzFeed alone created the false report, which was based, naturally, on anonymous sources, it was not alone in revealing its desire to be rid of Trump. The party was over because prosecutors denied the sensational central claim of the story, that they had gathered evidence beyond doubt that Trump had committed a crime. The site’s editor and others called the statement inadequate, but that was wishful thinking. It said: “BuzzFeed’s description of specific statements to the Special Counsel’s Office, and characterization of documents and testimony obtained by this office, regarding Michael Cohen’s Congressional testimony are not accurate.” Mueller’s statement, though brief, was specific and thorough enough to rip out the guts of the report. Mueller said so in an unprecedented debunking that slammed the brakes on the celebration. It was the bombshell development Dems and 90 percent of the media have dreamed of - and finally it was here. The BuzzFeed News report that special counsel Robert Mueller had corroborating evidence that Trump had instructed his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, to lie to Congress about a Moscow commercial project set the anti-Trump mob on fire. Sometimes, life is stranger than fiction. Having succumbed to prejudice and rage, they have proven themselves unworthy of public trust. Hatred for the president has corrupted their judgments and blinded them to duty and decency. He had seen enough to prove the thesis: Much of America, many of its leaders and some of its most prominent institutions are indeed gripped with madness. Then, suddenly, the scientist pulled the plug on the experiment. The Gotcha! glee, the declarations of Trump’s certain impeachment for suborning perjury, reckless references to Richard Nixon, the breathless anticipation of resignation and disgrace, perhaps prison - these and other overheated reactions quickly clogged the airwaves and internet, growing ever more bold as the day wore on and no compelling rebuttal appeared. Such a scientist would inject a damning - and false - media report about Trump into the political bloodstream, then observe the reactions. Imagine that a scientist wanted to conduct an experiment to see if it’s true that blind hatred of President Trump has led Democrats and their media handmaidens to go ’round the bend and off the cliff.

Instead, the Mavericks, a team that traded for Kyrie Irving with at least an internal intention of competing for a championship, unapologetically punted on any chance they might have had at the postseason by sitting Irving, Tim Hardaway Jr., Josh Green, Maxi Kleber and Christian Wood against the Bulls for "precautionary" reasons.įurthering the slap in the face to all fans who paid to see this game, and Mavericks fans who were holding out hope to watch their team in the playoffs, Dallas played Luka Doncic for the first quarter only because it was "I Feel Slovenia" night. The Mavs needed to win their last two and have OKC lose its final game vs. 10 Thunder, who do hold the tiebreaker, making that an effective two-game deficit with two to play. Entering play on Friday night, the Dallas Mavericks still had an outside shot at qualifying for the play-in tournament. ![]()
