Should liberal media trust Michael Wolffâs explosive anti
Excerpts from Michael Wolffâs explosive upcoming book  âFire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House â hit various websites this week  sending the mainstream media into a tizzy with endless tidbits that paint President Trump in an unflattering fashion despite clear signs that not everything in it may be accurate.
Wolff has developed a reputation as someone capable of exaggerating the truth  but he also is a world-class writer who managed to obtain unprecedented access to the Trump White House. The result is a product that is too juicy for the mainstream media to ignore  even if some of it may be fictitious. In fact  the bookâs release date was moved up because of the anticipation.
The liberal media are eating up the salacious details and CNNâs Alisyn Camerota even pressed Trumpâs friend  Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy  on whether the president eats cheeseburgers in bed â one of the unflattering details Wolff wrote.
Blake pointed out  âWolff has taken  some of the most gossiped-about aspects of the Trump White House  and put  them  forward as fact â often plainly stated fact without even anonymous sources cited.â
âThey just donât care whether itâs accurate as long as  it attacks Trump ." - Media Research Center Vice President Dan Gainor
âThey just donât care whether itâs accurate as long as  it attacks Trump . Here's a direct quote from The Washington Post: âWolff has a penchant for stirring up an argument and pushing the facts as far as theyâll go  and sometimes further than they can tolerate  according to his critics.â I guarantee most stories wonât include that qualifier â Gainor said.
âImagine Obama being treated with the same journalistic strategy where every little hyped nugget of information becomes national news. It would have crushed his every initiative  which is what the press is trying to do with  Trump  â he added.
One passage of the controversial book was quickly debunked  as Wolff alleged that  Trump  didnât know who former House Speaker John Boehner was when he was suggested as a chief of staff candidate.
âWhoâs that?â  Trump  replied  according to Wolff.
Well  Twitter sleuths quickly pointed out that  Trump  had tweeted about Boehner several times over the years in addition to name-dropping him on the campaign trail.  Trump  and Boehner even played golf together in 2013. White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders called the claim that  Trump  didnât know who Boehner was âridiculousâ during Thursdayâs press briefing  but she didnât stop there.
 Trumpâs legal team  has agreed with Sanders  as  it  sent a letter to both the publisher and Wolff on Thursday demanding they immediately stop  its  publication.  It  also demanded âa full and complete retraction and apology.â
The book featured antidotes on Steve Bannon slamming the presidentâs son  Donald Jr.   Trump 's son-in-law Jared Kushner and campaign chairman Paul Manafort and calling  their  infamous meeting with a Russian lawyer during the campaign âtreasonousâ and âunpatriotic.â It also claimed many of the president's top advisers disparaged him in private and that he didnât want to win the election in the first place  all peppered with information from seemingly private conversations.
