The Media Rape of President Trump’s Advisor Kellyanne Conway

President Trump’s adviser, Kellyanne Conway, cited Bowling Green terrorists’ incident as “Bowling Green massacre” and used the word “ban” rather than “freeze” in an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews.

Conway stated:

“I bet it’s brand new information to people that President Obama had a 6-month ban on the Iraqi refugee program after two Iraqis came here to this country, were radicalized and they were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre.”

Conway was referring to a report that even Breitbart.com covered recently and ABC initially:

According to Breitbart.com:

“. . . in 2013, ABC News first revealed that two years earlier, the State Department had imposed a freeze over the processing of Iraqi refugees for six months. The halt was the result of the discovery of two al-Qaida members [a terrorist organization] admitted as refugees from Iraq who were living in Bowling Green, Kentucky and who had admitted to targeting U.S. troops in Iraq.”

ABC News reported on the six month refugee freeze:

“As a result of the Kentucky case, the State Department stopped processing Iraq refugees for six months in 2011, federal officials told ABC News – even for many who had heroically helped U.S. forces as interpreters and intelligence assets.”

Regardless, news outlets jumped on Conway’s phrasing and the rape began:

• USA Today reported Friday that Conway explained she misspoke when using the term massacre. In a tweet that links to an ABC News article, she meant to say “Bowling Green terrorists.”
• That did not stop the ravaging of her phrasing.
• Leftist news outlets’ joining the news rape include:

Where was this same media outlets when Obama misspoke?

Here are some just from 2008 – 2011:

List of Obama Gaffes, Blunders & Mistakes – Obama Gaffes

• Obama tells business owners and entrepreneurs “If you got a business, you didn’t build that, you didn’t make it on your own”

Today’s media would greatly benefit from CBS journalist and anchor Bob Schieffer’s advice:

“I had the chance to make every possible mistake and figure out a way to recover from it. Once you realize there is life after mistakes, you gain a self-confidence that never goes away.” ― This Just in: What I Couldn’t Tell You on TV
