Associated Press Forced to Delete Article After Getting Caught Pushing a Lie About Tulsi Gabbard and Trump

 

Among President Donald Trump's Cabinet appointees, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has enjoyed one of the strongest starts.

Thus, in its ongoing effort to destroy both Gabbard and the president, the establishment media has resorted to brazen lies. That, of course, represents nothing new.

Nonetheless, in a sign of how much times have changed since Trump's first administration, the Trump-hating Associated Press had to print an embarrassing correction after first publishing a lie about Gabbard and Trump so obvious that any number of writers or editors could have caught it long before publication had they really wished to do so.

The correction, printed at the bottom of the updated story, read as follows:

"Eds: This story was updated on Mar. 17, 2025, to delete erroneous reporting that U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin 'are very good friends.' Gabbard was talking about Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi."

In other words, the AP ran with a false story about Trump describing Putin as a very good friend.

Of course they did. After all, the establishment media as a whole has spent nearly nine years priming its Trump-hating readers and viewers to receive with credulity the establishment-manufactured accusation that Trump amounts to a Russian asset.
