In the blink of an eye, CNN, pouncing, announced the real reason Hope Hicks had resigned – it reported after Trump had read she said she’d told ‘little white lies’ for him, he’d berated her, asking, How could you be so stupid?

CBS had it’s own theory: It reported that a titanic power struggle was underway inside the White House – and that Hope Hicks’ resigning and Jared Kushner losing his security clearance were ‘two wins in one week for John Kelly.’

So were either of those tales true? Or were both fake news? More mischief? Watching the ‘news’ on TV these days is like walking through a fog. You never know if you’re heading in the right direction – or being fooled.
