Obama reportedly refuses to attend WH ceremony to unveil his official portrait


Quote:
Prompted by reports that Barack Obama has no intention of attending his official portrait unveiling while President Trump is in office, sources told NBC News that Trump has decided not to hold the ceremony at the White House. This marks a break from a 40-year tradition honored by presidents from both parties.


Wow! What a sore loser and the Hell with tradition. He is insulting Americans, again.
Quote:
President Trump didn't hesitate to nix the 40-year traditional event.

WHISTLEBLOWER: Treasury Dept Spied On Flynn, Manafort And Trump Family From 2015

Bet this whistle blower does not stay anonymous. The media has to be chomping at the bitt to smear her.
Quote:
This is a big deal. It predates any possible predicate justifying the lawful surveillance of any of these parties.

This is, quite simply, a cynical and arrogant misuse of political power to spy on rivals for personal gain.

In a nutshell. Very Happy

@coldjoint,
Trump refused to unveil it, so what was the point of Obama showing up to stood up on camera.


Source: Business Insider

President Donald Trump won't be unveiling former President Barack Obama's portrait at the White House, breaking a 40-year tradition, NBC News reported on Tuesday.

Obama would also not be interested in attending such an event, according to the report, which cited people familiar with the matter.

The White House and a representative for Obama did not immediately
respond to requests for comment from Insider.

For decades, first-term presidents have held ceremonies in the East Room to unveil the portraits of their immediate predecessors. Obama did so for former President George W. Bush in 2012, for example.

Lifezette - Right Bias - Conservative - Republican - Libertarian - Not Credible - Some Fake NewsRIGHT BIAS

These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Right Bias sources.

Overall, we rate Lifezette Right biased based on story selection that always favors the right and denigrates the left. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to the promotion of conspiracy theories and a poor fact check record. Lifezette is one failed fact check away from moving to the Questionable source list.

Factual Reporting: MIXED
Country: USA
World Press Freedom Rank: USA 48/180

History

LifeZette is a conservative American news, opinion, and commentary website based in Washington, D.C. It was founded in 2015 by conservative pundit and radio host Laura Ingraham. According to their about page “LifeZette is a for-profit and editorially independent publication.”

Funded by / Ownership

The website was purchased by the Katz Group in 2018 and funded through online advertising.

Analysis / Bias

In review, Lifezette reports news with right wing bias in story selection that always favors the right. On the website news is broken into the following right leaning categories: Drain the Swamp, Border Security, Traditional Values, Constitutional Freedoms and Liberal Hypocrisy. Lifezette frequently utilizes loaded emotional headlines such as this: Fake Charities Seek to Exploit One of America’s Most Vulnerable Populations (Terrible!). In general, news stories are properly sourced to credible media outlets though they have failed fact checks (see below).

Lifezette has also been accused of peddling conspiracy theories such as Billionaire George Soros being linked to voting machines and the Clinton’s body count. Further, the founder of Lifezette, Laura Ingraham, has very poor track record with fact checkers.

A factual search reveals multiple failed fact checks by IFCN fact checkers.

UN Backs Secret Obama Takeover of Police – FALSE
Did Emmanuel Macron Give U.S. Liberals ‘Refugee Status’ in France? – FALSE
Tim Kaine: ‘Whites Must Become a Minority’ – FALSE
Headlines Spin Ukrainian Donations to Clinton Charity – FALSE

Overall, we rate Lifezette Right biased based on story selection that always favors the right and denigrates the left. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to the promotion of conspiracy theories and a poor fact check record. Lifezette is one failed fact check away from moving to the Questionable source list. (10/5/2016) Updated (D. Van Zandt 10/26/2019)

According to their Rules & FAQ page they state “Please, post only news articles, columns and commentary from legitimate, on-line newspapers, magazines and/or news websites. We prefer articles no older than 48 hours – – – unless an older article would serve as vital background for a current posted article.”

Lucianne Goldberg is best known for encouraging Linda Tripp to illegally record Monica Lewinsky discussing her sexual relationship with Bill Clinton. Goldberg was later subpoenaed to testify before a Maryland grand jury that was contemplating indicting Tripp for having made the recordings. Charges against Tripp were eventually dropped.

Below the article is a comment section (forum) where members can discuss and reply to one another regarding the content of the article. The news articles published by members range from Right-Center to Extreme Right conservative. Many of the sources come from factually Mixed sources such as Bizpac Review, Powerline, and questionable sources such as American Thinker, Gateway Pundit and Breitbart. We also found articles published from non-credible sources such as Rush Limbaugh and right wing conspiracy and pseudoscience website, Natural News. Lastly, credible sources are used as well, such as Reuters, The Hill and New York Times.

@coldjoint,
Doesn't prove there isn't a "whistleblower". Doesn't prove there is. Luceanne doesn't "publish" original material, she publishes from other blogs.

How would Luceanne know? How would we know? Who was the source of this "info"? You don't know. I don't know. Luceanned doesn't know, she got this from another source. Who was that source? Who wrote the piece for that source? Right now its an unproven rumor.

History

Founded in 2017, The Ohio Star is web only news source serving Ohio. This source does not have an about page and their domain registration is redacted for privacy. According to their contact page the CEO & Editor-in-Chief Michael Patrick Leahy.

Funded by / Ownership

The website does not disclose who the owner is, but they do list the CEO as Michael Patrick Leahy. The Ohio Star is funded through online advertising.

Analysis / Bias

In review, The Ohio Star reports news and publishes commentary with a right wing bias in story selection. There is moderate use of loaded language in headlines such as this: Commentary: Paul Ryan’s Legacy is the Destruction Of American Sovereignty. In this piece there isn’t any sourcing outside of a quote. In another story we also see a quote serving as a source, but nothing hyperlinked to actual data. The Ohio Star also republishes news from the factually Mixed, right biased Daily Caller, which allows republishing via Creative Commons. In general, all stories favor the the right. Many of the original pieces on this website are well written, but unfortunately lack proper sourcing.

A factual search reveals they have not failed a fact check.

Overall, we rate The Ohio Star Right Biased based on story selection that favors the right and Mixed for factual reporting due to poor sourcing and a lack of an about page or mission statement. (D. Van Zandt 12/8/2018)

Follow the names Smile

in this case, Michael Patrick Leahy

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/04/30/breitbart-tennessee-fake-news-560670

Quote:
Gill said he and Leahy have ambitions to start similar versions in other states — especially political battlegrounds like Ohio and Pennsylvania. “We could drop another Tennessee Star into other states with $300,000, $350,000,” he said. “We don’t have a big staff, we don’t have printing costs, we don’t have overhead.”

Just days after registering the Tennessee Star domain in January 2017, according to records, Leahy also registered domains for americandailystar.com, minnesotanorthernlight.com, mosundaily.com, newenglandstar.com, thedakotastar.com, themichiganstar.com, thencstar.com, theohiostar.com, thepennstar.com, thevirginiastar.com and thewisconsinstar.com.



Quote:
There is still no acknowledgement on the site that it is coming from a right-wing perspective, but Gill believes the Star’s outlook should be obvious.

“If anybody reads two paragraphs into our stories and doesn’t figure out we’re more conservative than liberal, they probably aren’t reading it right,” he said.
