NYP: In an effort to illustrate how media can get it wrong, Trump campaign communications chief Tim Murtaugh posted an image of a newspaper declaring Al Gore as the winner of the 2000 presidential election. 10/9/2020.
The problem is that the front page in the Washington Times was a fake.
"Greeting staff at @Team Trump HQ this morning, a reminder that the media doesn't select the President", Murtaugh said in a since-deleted tweet Sunday.
"PRESIDENT GORE", read the headline, which was supposed to show how the conservative newspaper prematurely projected the win.
"Those photos have been doctored. The Washington Times never ran a President Gore headline", the outlet said in a tweet debunking Murtaugh's post Sunday afternoon.
This may have been a doctored and fake newspaper headline that never ran, but Al Gore did in fact win. The Supreme Court stole the election from Gore and anointed the loser, george w bush. So, if they had run that headline, they'd have been right.
