ET:
The BBC apologized to Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and will pay him damages over a false report that he paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to meet with President Donald Trump.
The inaccurate article was published in May 2018 and claimed that Poroshenko paid $400,000 to former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen in order to extend a brief 2017 meeting with the U.S. president. The story has since been scrubbed from the BBC website.
According to an archive of BBC.com, the article was the lead story on the website. At the time, Poroshenko’s administration called the story a “blatant lie, slander and fake.”
“We apologize to Mr. Poroshenko for any distress caused and have agreed to pay him damages, legal costs and have participated in a joint statement in open court,” BBC said on its website Thursday. The apology continues: more here
Well, it appears that Trump finally paid Poroshenko off. It just took some time to get the dollars through the media to pay for the collusion.
So, does the BBC also owe Mssrs. Trump and Cohen apologies?

…does this set a precedent for Fake Media to pay off Presidents that they lie about? ‘Cause OUR President will have George Soros-level money and THEN some once he gets done bankrupting CNN, MSNBC, etc., for their YEARS of lies…
