Muslim Olympian NOT detained because of Trump's order. Another media mess up

She was held in December, and it wasn't for 2 hours either. Let's remember there was no "ban" in December. The media didn't even check. I guess if I just report something that fits their agenda, they just rush to print, and everyone rushes to believe the worst.

This has happened several times now. Remember the 'Trump Killed My Mommy' guy?

The link was difficult to follow because of so many ads on the website so I never found out which reporters and news organizations fell for the Muslim woman's fake story and reported it as fact

Yeah, sorry about that. Here is a couple I copied:

The U.K.'s Independent went with a story titled, "US Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad says she was detained by Customs after Donald Trump's 'Muslim ban.'

"U.S. Olympian Ibtihaj Muhammad being detained illustrates why Trump's Muslim ban is not who we are as Americans," read the headline to an article published by the New York Daily News.


Plus all the twitter stuff going back and forth.

This is becoming the norm. It's sad that a good portion of our main stream news sources have degraded themselves to the level of whale ****.

Just more FAKE news to try and damage Trump. Some in the media are so
full of rage against Trump they don't do the very basic checking before writing
a story. They should be following this guide:
