    I’m not “reporting” anything.

    I should rephrase: Given their track record, any “refuting” this administration does is presumed to be 100 percent bullshit until proven otherwise.

    The president is an uncultured pig, so I’m more apt to believe things that REVEAL him to be so.

    The AP doesn’t even claim that their sources possess first hand information.

    The WH, though they didn’t attach a name to it, officially denied the claim, and presented an alternate story, that the AP should be able to confirm, or prove false.

    The White House has tried to deny things the president himself has said unambiguously in public.

    LOL. I think this is the definition of confirmation bias.

    Your willing to believe WH sources, even of anonymous, and not first hand, if they say something bad about the President.

    But, it they say something good, you refuse to believe it.

    OK. Sure.

    But, that’s not the case here, and they provided a basis for their rebuttal, that the AP should be able to confirm, or prove false.

    You've already had multiple posters explain this to you. The AP story and the alternate story the White House provided could both be true. The official denial is probably crap, but even if the evidence they provided is real, it doesn't disprove the AP story.

    Am I the only one reading ELECTION NIGHT IN ALABAMA in Frank Gifford's voice and waiting on two helmets to crash into each other?
