More "trickle-down truth" from Cummings

Whenever Michael Cummings posts a newsmax.crap.com article, all the board can see firsthand why Michael embraces the newsmax.crap.com method so much.

It fits his philosophy of not letting the facts stand in the way of a bash headline.

Michael's headline says: "American Lefties say U.S. Deserved 9-11" ... no doubt about it ... definite.

First paragraph of the story, however, says: "... releasing a letter that includes the suggestion that the U.S. may have actually deserved what it got on 9-11."

(Note the double "iffy" qualifiers ... "suggestion" and "may have deserved." From that sentence Michael and newsmax.crap.com have no qualms with posting a misleading, lying headline.)

Now we come to the actual text wording in the story:

"We too mourned the thousands of innocent dead [on 9-11] and shook our heads at the terrible scenes of carnage," the signatories said, "even as we recalled similar scenes in Baghdad, Panama City and, a generation ago, Vietnam."

From that simple statement newsmax.crap.com and Michael Cummings spin a headline that says: "American Lefties Say U.S. Deserved 9-11."

Some people have no shame whatsoever.
