Time magazine calls out Trump’s fake news
American President Donald Trump is big on calling out ‘fake news’, but now he has been caught out manufacturing his own stories.
The Washington Post has broken a story that the Time magazine cover hang in a number of Trump-owned golf resorts is nothing but a fake.
The cover, dated March 1, 2009, gives the impression that Trump was a big enough deal to get a Time front cover well before his presidential career.
Despite a number of style issues that make it an obvious fake, Time never even published an issue on March 1, 2009 (that week’s issue came out on March 2).
Since the fake has been discovered, Time magazine has asked the Trump organisation to remove the phony cover from all the walls where it is displayed.
Can you believe anything President Trump says? Is he responsible for more fake news than any other source.

Do you call the pro right wing stories "fake"? These are rolled out in Australia routinely during election campaigns and anybody doubting this needds to watche Seven or Nine News and see for themselves. Better still record how many times the PM is advertised at children's schools and hospitals compared to thr oppposition leader. Then record the promotion each side gets as well as the attack on the other. Over a period of 2 months the results are astounding and clear: FAKE NEWS and media propaganda. Don't believe me, do it!
At least in America bith sides have a fairer go. Not in Oz!
