WALSH: The Daily Wire Created A Doctored Photo Of A Dog Receiving The Medal Of Honor. I Apologize For This Evil Hoax.

Matt Walsh

When I first saw the image tweeted by President Trump of a dog being awarded the Medal of Honor, like any reasonable person I immediately assumed that it was completely real and accurate. Granted, I’d heard dark tales of a black magic known as “photoshop,” but I couldn’t believe the President of the United States would ever engage in such sorcery. I was wrong.

As has since been exposed by the tireless work of our courageous news media, the picture was a fraud. A fake. A forgery. It has been altered, the New York Times confirmed in an article with two authors. After its own extensive investigation, the Washington Post agreed that the photo was “edited.” CNN’s Jim Acosta ran down his own leads and discovered that “the dog is not at the White House.” Another fearless journalist immediately called the White House and found that there had been no “canine events.” After a whole day spent on this important subject, it became clear that the picture was an elaborate ruse. Most disturbing of all: the Daily Wire was behind it.
