Trump calls Nepal ‘Nipple’, Bhutan ‘Button’, and Journo asks if you trusted MSM or alternative media?

Surprised a professional journo would even pose such a question.
If there is anyone who has less credibility than the Mainstream Media (MSM) at the moment, it’s probably only Donald Trump…

Trump Called Nepal And Bhutan ‘Nipple’ And ‘Button’

President Donald Trump mispronounced two Asian nations as “nipple” and “button” during a security briefing,
CNN presenter Brooke Baldwin asked John Walcott, who is the foreign policy and national security correspondent for Time, for examples of the President’s apparent ignorance on foreign affairs.
“There are a combination of things. The first one is the President’s ignorance. That goes to the point of thinking that Nepal and Bhutan — which incidentally he also mispronounced a ‘nipple’ and ‘button’ — are part of India, which they’re not,” Walcott said.
Brooke Baldwin looked incredulous and as she responded, “Wait, seriously? That’s what he said?”
“Seriously,” Walcott said.

This is not to say Trump is bad, but it does look like he couldn’t carry out what he preached/promised… But you never know. There is still a chance Trump may turn around to prove us wrong in the future.
But the same can’t be said about MSM. And you know what they’re allowed report.
Anyway, here is the scandalous Twitter spat: –

Who do you trust more? NBC journalist’s stab at RT backfires spectacularly

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii)

Eager to defend NBC News’ claim that Democrat Tulsi Gabbard was being promoted by a ‘Russian machine,’ journalist Kasie Hunt asked Twitter if they trusted her network or RT more. The results were not what she’d hoped for.

Fresh from a disastrous interview with Gabbard (D-Hawaii) on Wednesday morning, in which Hunt claimed that US troops were sent to Syria “pushing back against [President Bashar] Assad” rather than to fight Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS), Hunt asked her Twitter followers to compare the NBC story that claimed that Russia was “boosting” the congresswoman, to the report from “Russian state media” RT.

Here is ⁦@NBCNews⁩’ excellent reporting on the Russian machine that now appears to be boosting Tulsi Gabbard https://t.co/QuJRuEQHOm

NBC’s “excellent reporting” was based on “experts” from New Knowledge – a shady outfit that was exposed in December for making up fake Russian bot accounts to help Democrats during a 2017 Senate election. It was Glenn Greenwald from The Intercept that pushed back on NBC’s claim first, a fact duly noted in RT’s article – but not in Hunt’s tweets.
Greenwald responded by comparing NBC journalists to being more obsessed with Russia that J. Edgar Hoover, who ran the FBI for almost 50 years.

NBC personalities find more Russian infiltration than J. Edgar Hoover ever did. Also, @Kasie, you “forgot” to mention that the “experts” on which NBC relied for its McCarthyite smearing just got caught fabricating Russia data on behalf of Democrats. https://t.co/t3pS4zwyV2 https://t.co/KsTlLgMiXZ

There were hundreds of replies to Hunt’s question. While some expressed support for NBC and repeated the claim that Gabbard is a Russian agent somehow, the majority sided with RT and The Intercept.
