IRONY: Chuck Todd Scolds Buzzfeed Editor: 'You Just Published Fake News!'
Today has been full of firsts for me. First, I had to explain to more people than I wanted to what the term "Golden Shower" meant. Second, I had to actually tweet about how great Marco Rubio was doing during the Tillerson hearing. Now, I get to write about how Chuck Todd, purveyor of fake news and all things bothsides is actually lecturing someone else about publishing real news but calling it "fake news." My brain hurts.
Here is the skinny: Buzzfeed published this bombshell dossier of Trump's deep ties to Russia, his procivility for dirty urine sex play with Russian prostitutes and a litany of other nasty things late yesterday. The world went nuts, Twitter went insane, Trump tweeted in ALL CAPS about how he had NO CONTACTS IN RUSSIA AND HE IS INNOCENT AND HE ONLY LIKES HOOKERS FROM CLASSY COUNTRIES, LIKE SLOVENIA.
Kidding. Don't sue me.
