Fake News: AP, CNN, NYT Twist Sondland Testimony on Ukraine
By Tyler O'Neil November 20, 2019
{snip}
s Gordon Sondland, U.S. ambassador to the E.U., testified before the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, news outlets twisted his words against President Donald Trump, in service of the Democrats' impeachment narrative.
First, the Associated Press (AP) tweeted that Trump contradicted Sondland's testimony. "Contradicting the testimony of his own ambassador, President Trump says he wanted 'nothing' from Ukraine and says the [Impeachment hearings] should be brought to an end," the tweet read. In fact, Trump was quoting Sondland's testimony in his remarks.
AP deleted the tweet. "An earlier tweet that didn’t make clear that President Trump was quoting from Gordon Sondland’s testimony in which he was quoting Trump has been deleted," the news outlet admitted.
