Fux News 'Apologizes' For Misleading Photos of Eagles Players Kneeling.

Trump claims he told the Eagles to FOAD because they 'disagreed' with him about standing for the anthem. Fux News DUTIFULLY backs him up by showing photos of the Eagles kneeling.

Just two problems with that: A) NO EALGLES took a knee during the anthem, ever. and B) They were kneeling for PRAYERS.

Nice going, dipshits. If you'd done five minutes worth of research (the way a REAL news organization might have) you'd have known that.

Ironically, you're only apologizing today because lots of RATIONAL people now saw what you did. And the only reason they know is because SAMANTHA BEE and STEPHEN COLBERT used it in their TV shows. As usual...THANK A LIBERAL.

So, let's summarize:


--Trump finds out only a few of the Eagles will show up for his event because they think he's an asshat.

--Rather than swallow that, he does another "you can't dump ME, because I dumped YOU FIRST!" And claims he cancelled the event because THEY didn't stand for the anthem.

--In lieu of the Eagles event, he quickly stages an absolutely COMICAL impromptu display of faux patriotism with the Army choir, and makes an even BIGGER ass of himself by not knowing the words to either the National Anthem, or God Bless America.

--Now everybody knows the real reason he cancelled the event, and he looks even MORE foolish. What a dope.


Just another day in Trump's America.

They did this on purpose and apologizing matters not one bit. Their viewers saw the original broadcast, they believe it and nothing will change their minds now.
