More interesting lessons on how the media interprets things:

The true enemy of this country is the media.

I turn that crap off only to get a seemingly full report of it here

HB--two more things we agree on!

(That the Stars and Stripes article was unrelated to this alleged contempt of the military; and that that leftist agitator idiot is contemptible.)

Yay!  I meant that!!

The NY Times article says Bolton was there for the Marne Cemetery decision and it was weather-based; but says he doesn't know if Trump said something to someone else another time that day.

Bloomberg reports that Bolton says the allegations are consistent with what he knows of Trump, but that he didn't hear the Marne Cemetery decision thing.

Fox News says Bolton undercuts the allegations, in support of its own sources who disagree with the allegations.

Fox used direct quotes from Bolton’s book. 

Well that, and China.

Double Amen.  China’s best weapon so far- Biden

Fox used direct quotes from Bolton’s book. 

All of the reports note that Bolton says he was at the decision to cancel the visit and that it didn't include the comment that the Atlantic story alleges. The NY Times goes on to say that Bolton doesn't deny that Trump could have made that comment to someone else at some other point that day. The Bloomberg article suggests that Bolton thinks the allegations are consistent with what he knows about Trump.

So there's no question about what Bolton said specifically about the decision to cancel the event. All three sources agree on that point. But Fox News uses it to cast doubt on the story, the NY Times is essentially neutral on the point, and the Bloomberg article uses Bolton's comments to lend the allegations credibility.

How in the world could Bolton's comments be used to support this fake news story
