Grasping at straws

I just logged on and started looking at what has been popped to the greatest since yesterday and this caught my eye.

Subject:
Elizabeth Warren praises Hillary Clinton’s Wall Street plan


http://www.democraticunderground.com/110741813

I started to read it and I went WHAAAA?? Then saw the publish date .. Dec. 7, 2015.

They (the press) took a quote from Warren's facebook page and made it sound as if she held a press conference announcing that Clinton now had her total support. Crikey ... she only said, “Secretary Clinton is right to fight back against Republicans trying to sneak Wall Street giveaways into the must-pass government funding bill,” That, to me, is a facebook post blown out of proportion by the news media.

And now it is making today's greatest page. Give me a break.
