Sharpiegate

Trump warned that people should evacuate for Hurricane Dorian, National Weather Service incorrectly said not to worry.

(This is also called Sharpiegate, but is much broader than that). Trump warned that people should evacuate for Hurricane Dorian, National Weather Service incorrectly said not to worry -- they'd rather risk lives than admit Trump did the right thing. CNN spun that. Trump showed the original track, and FakeNews pretended that he made everything up with a sharpie.

(This is also called Sharpiegate, but is much broader than that). Anatomy of FakeNews would look like this:

Trump tweeted on Sunday (Sept 1st) to be careful, and God Bless everyone, be sure to evacuate, and warned that because Hurricane Dorian was cat 5, and could hit the states hard (including Alabama as the last of the 5 states mentioned). Then went on with his logorrhea about the economy and a dozen other things.
A never Trump'er at the National Weather Service tweeted that no effects would be felt in Alabama as the storm was going to stay east.
The DNC media, trying to cover for Biden (or other DNC) Gaffes or the embarrassing 7 hour Climate battle of the dimwits (infomercial for the uninformed) that CNN was running, decided to invent the FakeStory that Alabama was never on the threatened list for the cone, and that Trump was an idiot for tweeting that, since the storm had stalled and was turning away. CNN even did a dishonest map where they mislabelled Alabama as Mississippi.
Trump doesn't let the media revise the truth about him... so after 4 days of FakeNews (Wed), he did a little mini-News Conference, where his people had created charts and checked the facts, and it showed the original track of the Hurricane and where broader effects would be felt.

Original tweet

In addition to Florida - South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, will most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated. Looking like one of the largest hurricanes ever. Already category 5. BE CAREFUL! GOD BLESS EVERYONE!
