DC: The Hill and Associated Press are misleading readers about Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’s use of private jet for work-related travel.
In tweets about DeVos’s use of the jet, both outlets indicated that DeVos used the jet to travel for work events but declined to say who owned and who was paying for the jet. The headlines imply that DeVos is using the jet at the expense of taxpayers, when, in reality, DeVos owns the plane and foots the bill herself.
Even the in-story headline for The Hill’s piece doesn’t tell readers the jet is self-funded, instead telling readers, “DeVos flies on her own private jet for work-related travel.” The crucial information doesn’t appear in the lead of the story either. MORE
And everything she said was unspeakably phallocentric too, right? What a bag of dicks.
More fake news. The media are losing it. They have become a laughing stock.
Using a private plane to work for the American people is not like using a private server to keep our enemies abreast of what’s happening in our government. Is it?
That’s called “misleading”?
They’re in the business of knowing.
They knew.
It’s called “Lying”
urinalist, just making up shit to start shit
Ms. Devos, great way to qualify a deduction
Where were these media clowns when
Michael OBongo went on a tax payer
funded vacation trip to Spain ???
and spent millions $$$ of tax payer
money on jet travel alone…

And not a peep out of the lamestream media.
To add to what everyone else is saying, apparently this woman gets a ton of death threats so there’s a security aspect as well.
Oh yeah, I remember these guys. They were going ballistic when Bill Clinton was on his way out of office and took an entourage on a world wide tour for a month. Oh, and the gay Kenyan commie’s trips to NYC on date night? And don’t forget Pelosi’s party plane, filled with expensive food, liquor, and chef, used for her weekly trips home and back. And the Obamas taking different planes to the same place an hour apart.
How about Bubba’s two hundred dollar haircut at the airport on board Air Force One?
As is often the case, it’s what the media doesn’t say that matters.
