A presidential visit to a Harley Davidson factory in Milwaukee, Wisconsin has been canceled because the company was worried about the fallout from protesters for hosting the toxic Trump.

I need to learn to read an news article, set it on a shelf for a month and then see if it held up before I post.

What's fake about it?

Or has this just become the new catch all meme for any negative news about Trump?

The two stories don't contradict each other.   H-D execs who met with Trump at the White House could still have cancelled a Presidential visit to the Milwaukee factory.

Original story:



Quote
The visit had not been publicly announced, but White House staffers were already on the ground in Milwaukee setting up for Trump's planned visit to the factory on Thursday.
White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham confirmed Trump is not expected to go to Milwaukee on Thursday.

Tell me exactly how H-D "dumped" Trump. The real story is that H-D reveals a lack of confidence in Wisconsin authorities ability to prevent disorder during  presidential visit.

Sheriff David Clarke is in Milwaukee;

But this is from that politicususa; who acknowledge they are a liberal outfit and have even been caught misreporting stories.

Like the one about Trump giving that speech at a black church in Detroit and they ran photos pre-speech and were trying to say that was the crowd when there were not many people there.

It's not a very important story but consider, it was not announced he would go to Wisc. until Monday and by Tuesday, I think it was already cancelled.

Dumped...rescinded the invite...cancelled the visit...it's all different ways to say the same thing.

The only difference is which version of the same term the editor chooses to affix to the story.

Because someone decided to use a term to describe something that you don't personally agree with...doesn't make it fake news.

It just makes that person a biased and crappy headline writer.

The info contained in the story is factually correct.  Trump was going to visit the H-D plant in Milwaukee...but do to the threat of protests...H-D decided not to go ahead with the visit.

Comprende?

Harley Davidson Execs Meet with Trump

No offense...but these days Rush is hardly one to snort...chortle or make fun of fake news.

He has zero credibility anymore.  :shrug:

All those bikers that went to DC recently may not like that.

Could be a switch to a non-American bike instead.

I can agree that "fake" is an imprecise term. There are several descriptive terms that serve well...misleading, emotional, juvenile, suggestive, frothy, agenda serving, tabloidish...

Probably a safety issue. The SecServ likely wouldnt sign off on it because of all the leaked oil from Harleys creating a potential slip/fall scenario...

Either that or switch to riding an Indian.  American made with a very non-politically correct yet legendary name.  :beer:

But then this has been the MO for the media for a couple generations.

Howard K. Smith trying to make Alger Hiss a sympathetic victim....Cronkite lying about Tet....Rather with "fake but accurate".
