Reuters Misleads (Again) In Headline About Trump / McCain Funeral
2018-08-31
I seem to recall at least two people specifically told not to attend anything related to John McCain's funeral proceedings - Sarah Palin and Donald Trump - look how these assholes portray it...

[Reuters] - Washington lauds McCain as one of America's 'bravest souls;' Trump absent

WASHINGTON ‐ Washington’s bitterly divided leaders came together on Friday to praise the late Senator John McCain as an embodiment of America’s fighting spirit, idealism and sense of humor, but there was one notable absentee: President Donald Trump.
...
McCain helped plan the events around his funeral. He made it clear to family and friends that he wanted Democratic former Vice President Joe Biden, Bush and Obama to speak ‐ but that Trump was not welcome.

Waiting until the very last paragraph to tell us why Trump wasn't there, which is quite a bit different from 'Trump absent', isn't it?
