1) Does anyone else see what's going on here?
Core bit of the story: journalist hack claims that Grenell is joining the Trump campaign. Both Grenell and Trump's campaign call bullshit. Said hack then doubles down and proclaims secret sources say it's true.

2) He then, when confronted by the subjects of his article again claiming its not true, demands that they tell him what's incorrect, as if the entire core piece of the article (that Grenell is joining the campaign) is beyond doubt.

3) This dipshit @BDayspring doesn't actually know wtf is going on with Grenell. So he's using a trick that journalists have been using whenever they can't actually get a source to cough them up a story worth printing.
And it is an insidious as fuck trick.
And it is an insidious as fuck trick.
4) They make up some complete bullshit that sounds plausible, claim they have sources they can't reveal who told it to them, and then demand that the subject of their article corrects them not by saying 'that's wrong' but by revealing what the actual truth is.
5) This was a common tactic throughout the Mueller SC era, wherein the media ran with all kinds of crazy bullshit like claiming Flynn had a secret deal with Turkey to kidnap some Turkish terrorist-inspiring asshole the Dems have let live on US soil.
6) They would make these claims, and then keep running with these claims until the subjects of their articles came out to correct them with the actual story.
Or, even more insidiously, they'd just make them as clickbaity as possible, KNOWING they would not be corrected.

7) Articles about secret court filings and proceedings, secret classification shit, they'd run whatever the fuck they wanted knowing that short of a verbal wrist slap they would never face consequences for these stories. Example: Maggie Haberman still has a job.
8) It very well could be that whatever Grenell's next role is the subject of an NDA, or classified. We don't know. If we don't know, chances are we're not supposed to know, especially if it's private sector and none of anyone's fucking business. Grenell could be retiring ffs.
9) But because they don't know, the leftist hacks will attack and make shit up, and will grow increasingly abusive in these wild fucking claims, until they get the actual truth.
And then attack that.
Our country has THE WORST fucking media.
