5News reports:

President Donald Trump appears to have changed his story about a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower that is pivotal to the special counsel's investigation, tweeting that his son met with a Kremlin-connected lawyer to collect information about his political opponent.

[...] That is a far different explanation than Trump gave 13 months ago, when a statement dictated by the president but released under the name of Donald Trump Jr., read: "We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago."

    Both are correct. All news organizations in the US are propaganda machines. Which set of dupes they target is the only difference.

    False equivalence is a tool of fascism. Organizations like fox are fundamentally different from legitimate news organizations. Fox unabashedly pushes propaganda, it does not care about accuracy. Errors are not mistakes, they are deliberate and go uncorrected . Real news organizations actually fire people for that kind of shit [nytimes.com] and then they go on to start their own dark-money funded propaganda outlets [quora.com] and marry up into republican royalty.
