18. When Has the Media Been Wrong?

Someone needs to ask her to give an example of where the media has been wrong about Donald Trump. I cannot think of any real story where the media has been proven wrong on something they reported about Donald Trump. On multiple occasions, the media made a statement about Donald Trump. Donald Trump then called the statement fake news. Days, weeks, or months later the story was confirmed either by Trump's team, or because the action was proven to have taken place.

Whether it was meetings at Trump tower, staff members being fired, staff members leaving their posts at the White House, lawyers being hired by Trump/the White House, campaign staff reaching out to Russians, or people being given hush money (being bribed) all the stories have mainly been proven true. So, where is the media responsible for fake news? What does the media have to take ownership of and address?

Lara Logan claiming she is committing "professional suicide" is like some of these washed up, never really a star, Hollywood stars claiming they lost their careers because they came out in support of Donald Trump. Like the never really a star stars Lara Logan's career was over before she made these latest statements. I have rarely, if ever, heard of/from Lara Logan in years. I really did not know she was still a reporter.
