  1. Incompetent Katie Simpson of CBC spreading fake news!  She said Trump had a replacement for Flynn but that the guy said,  "thanks, but no thanks."  THAT'S A LIE!

      She left the report at that - leaving viewers to think that the new guy doesn't want to have anything to do with Trump.  It's a smear tactic.

    If Katie is competent as a journalist, she would've researched a bit more and found out the reason why the new guy turned the position down.

    "Retired Vice Adm. Robert Harward cited "financial and family issues that would have been challenging in this position" in explaining his decision to decline the offer.

    "Like all service members understand, and live, this job requires 24 hours a day, 7 days a week focus and commitment to do it right. I currently could not make that commitment," Harward said in a statement reported by CNN's Jake Tapper.

     

    According to the Financial Times report, a source familiar with Harward's decision said he was concerned about whether the top advisers in Trump's administration would allow him to install his own staff on the National Security Council. Flynn's deputy, K.T. McFarland, told The Hill on Tuesday that Trump had "asked that I stay on." "

    Not only does CBC's Katie Simpson spreads fake news, she's also incompetent as a journalist!

    BOOOOOO to CBC!  You're a disgrace!

      He was going to do it if Bannon was there running things, but the final straw was the unhinged press conference.

      Katie Simpson ought to have reported the whole story.  That's what competent journalists do - leave no stone unturned when reporting.

      Her version of reporting leaves the impression that Harward didn't want anything to do with Trump.

      Five Core Principles of Journalism

      Truth and Accuracy

      Journalists cannot always guarantee ‘truth’, but getting the facts right is the cardinal principle of journalism. We should always strive for accuracy, give all the relevant facts we have and ensure that they have been checked. When we cannot corroborate information we should say so.

      Big F for FAIL, for Katie and CBC!

      The information was corroborated, so now you have no argument.
