I'm not doing that at all. I also don't think it's a fair characterization that you're saying that I'm acting as if I am doing so.

Do you think Imzy needs to mislead the audience to sow discontent with the new President? I don't. There's plenty of real news out there for them to base that on.

They could point to the women's march today. Yesterday, they could have just left off the part about the website and sent the rest of their email. The message would be the same.

Instead, they used the non-existence of information on a website that could be timing based to infer something that may or may not be posted later. They readily admit they don't know if there will be new information about it.

That's weak information to be making a point about. My point was that making points on weak information can lead to people not paying attention when the real points are made.

Also, this:

    Whitehouse.gov at 11:59AM was all about the Obama Administration. At 12:00PM it became the website of the Trump Administration. The entire whitehouse.gov website was changed. Art, images, layout etc all changed. The Obama stuff was archived as prescribed by US law. The Trump people had a few months to provide the whitehouse.gov admins the data to populate the website. The results are what went live at noon.

I hope you don't think I'm just blasting you with references to avoid replying on the matter: I just said and saw everything I require to reply in other posts.
