Fake news today

T. Becket Adams has more on the incident of harassment of Trump's daughter and her husband aboard the coach section of Jet Blue Airlines. He shows how various newsrooms are sanitizing the story. One of the gay men took this picture of Ivanka on the flight.
What's really remarkable here is that even though media's coverage of the incident has centered almost entirely on Lasner's say-so, many headlines have omitted any sort of allusion to his own use of the word "harass."

From the Associated Press: "Man says he and husband removed from JetBlue flight after 'expressing displeasure' that Ivanka Trump was aboard."

From Yahoo News: "Man kicked off JetBlue flight for questioning why Ivanka Trump was on it."

From the Atlanta Journal Constitution: "Passengers kicked off flight after run-in with Ivanka Trump."

From the Washington Post: "Passenger who confronted Ivanka Trump gets kicked off Jet Blue flight."

From CNN: "JetBlue forced a man off a flight after an apparent incident involving Ivanka Trump and her husband."
