DAY 74: Hypocrisy: Trump suddenly likes leaks again

Donald Trump posted several tweets about some unsubstantiated claims Fox News made about Trump being spied before being nominated as Republican candidate during its show Fox and Friends, which is more foa talk morning show and not really a news show. These two are the key tweets:

Such amazing reporting on unmasking and the crooked scheme against us by @foxandfriends. "Spied on before nomination." The real story.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 3, 2017

.@FoxNews from multiple sources: "There was electronic surveillance of Trump, and people close to Trump. This is unprecedented." @FBI

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 3, 2017

The claim by Fox News is fake news, of course. Not a single intelligence agency has backed such claim, nor has Congress. And the only conversations intelligence agencies heard from Donald Trump's people were from AFTER the elections when they were listenning to Russiaan officials, thus incidentally hearing Trump's people when they talked to Russian officials.

But that's not the interesting part. The interesting part is this:

Less than 24 hours before those tweets, Donald Trump tweeted this:

The real story turns out to be SURVEILLANCE and LEAKING! Find the leakers.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 2, 2017

So let me get this straight: less than 24 hours prior, Trump claimed the real story were the leaks. But then Fox News makes a false claim based on unidentified "sources" --which is another way of saying "leaks"-- and now Trump is okay with that.

Which makes Trump a hypocrite, of course.

So real news autlets informing the public using true information leaked from the federal government is bad according to Trump. But fake news outlets using fase information leaked from unidentified sources, that's fine.

Like I said: hypocrisy.
