Another Hate-Trump Hoax went down the drain almost as fast as Piers Morgan and the leftist media conceived it.
Even “conservative” Fox News and the New York Post promoted Morgan’s interview with President Trump with video that supposedly showed POTUS 45 storming from an interview.
But late yesterday, NBC News reported that separately recorded audio of the interview showed that Trump and Morgan departed amicably.
Another day, another hate-Trump lie disproven.
Let’s Go to the Tape
The latest hoax is in a promo video for Morgan’s new program, Piers Morgan Uncensored, on TV Talk, a project of Rupert Murdoch’s Media Death Star.
“Turn the camera off … very dishonest,” Trump fumes as he rises from his chair and walks away from the chin wag.
Subsidiaries such as the New York Post highlighted the supposedly ugly scene.
But nothing of the sort happened.
“An audio recording obtained by NBC News appears to show that former President Donald Trump’s highly publicized interview with Piers Morgan did not end with Trump storming off the set, as edited promotional video clips suggest,” the network reported:
Instead, according to the recording, which was provided by Trump’s spokesman, the two men thanked each other and laughed at the conclusion of the interview for Talk TV, a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp.
The promo’s creators mashed up audio and video to make the two appear to have ended on a sour note. In fact, POTUS 45 and Morgan departed on a friendly one.
The “audio of the end of the interview appears to tell a different story,” NBC continued:
The two men laughed and thanked each other, the recording shows. There are no signs of Trump’s storming off set.
“That was a great interview,” Morgan says in the audio at the end.
Trump agrees with a “yeah.”
“Thank you very much. I really appreciate it,” Morgan says.
That’s when Trump says, “Turn the camera off.” By then, the former president had already risen from his chair, according to his communications director, Taylor Budowich, who supplied the audio to NBC News.
“Piers Morgan, like the rest of the Fake News Media, attempted to unlawfully and deceptively edit his long and tedious interview with me,” Trump said in a prepared statement:
He wanted to make it look like I walked out on the interview when my time limit of 20 minutes went over by an hour. The good news is that the interview was taped by us as a means of keeping him honest. The interview was actually very strong on the 2020 Election Fraud, with me calling him “a fool” if he truly believed those results.…
For those who want to make Piers look bad, compare his video promo and how it was doctored to the real thing. Hopefully they will now be doing some big changes to their final product. It just shows, however, what I have to deal with in the Fake News Media. He went out of his way to deceptively edit an interview and got caught. That is a big story, isn’t it?
NBC apparently thought so, as did The Washington Post.
Not the First Time
This isn’t, of course, the first time a lie about Trump traveled halfway around the world before the truth caught up, even if it did catch up almost immediately.
Right now, court filings in the federal perjury case against Michael Sussmann, a legal torpedo for Hillary Clinton’s losing 2016 presidential campaign, remind everyone about Clinton’s role in the Russia Collusion Hoax.
Her campaign operatives and cutouts conceived and executed that hoax to divert attention from the very real crimes Clinton committed when she was secretary of state. Clinton used a private email server to send and receive classified information. The FBI didn’t charge Clinton because she supposedly didn’t intend to break the law.
But Trump became the target of FBI surveillance and a multi-year campaign to drive him from office when Clinton did break the law.
