PBS Host Spread Disinfo to Shift Blame for Gaza Genocide from Biden-Harris to Trump

PBS News host Judy Woodruff on Wednesday admitted she spread disinformation by falsely claiming that former President Donald Trump urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to approve a peace deal in order to hurt the Harris campaign.

"I want to clarify my remarks on the PBS News special on Monday night about the ongoing cease fire talks in the Middle East," Woodruff wrote on X. "As I said, this was not based on my original reporting; I was referring to reports I had read, in Axios and Reuters, about former President Trump having spoken to the Israeli Prime Minister. In the live TV moment, I repeated the story because I hadn't seen later reporting that both sides denied it. This was a mistake and I apologize for it."
 
This was a rather remarkable and quite clever attempt to shift the blame for the Gaza Genocide away from Biden-Harris and onto Trump and it was spread to millions of people all over social media.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Had she blamed global warming instead, the truth would never have come out. **nononono*
