An Outright Lie, reported as fact

When a phony military story is written for political reasons, it hurts real journalism and readers | MilitaryReporter.net: The Post reporter Jeanne MacIntosh — who has a history of backtracking on stories, misinterpreting information, and throwing sources under the bus — stated that the president has a plan.

According to the U.S. Marine Corps statement released today, “The president in no way, shape or form directed the Marine Corps to change our uniform cover.”

The suggestion for the change in the covers originated with the Marines’ Uniform Board. This was already known several days ago when it was reported in the Marine Corps Times on Oct. 21.

MacIntosh says there’s an Obama plan. There is no plan. That’s a fabrication — a lie.
