The media has had a really tough week. Now it’s spread to the Washington Post. Hack liberal writer Dave Weigel tweeted out a fake photo trying to claim that Trump’s crowd size wasn’t “packed to the rafters.” After Weigel of the Washington Post was caught sending out fake photos, he did what left wing hacks typically do. He deleted the tweet.

Trump called out Dave Weigel of the Washington Post in a tweet, showing the actual photos of last night’s Pensacola rally/speech:
.@DaveWeigel @WashingtonPost put out a phony photo of an empty arena hours before I arrived @ the venue, w/ thousands of people outside, on their way in. Real photos now shown as I spoke. Packed house, many people unable to get in. Demand apology & retraction from FAKE NEWS WaPo! pic.twitter.com/XAblFGh1ob

After Weigel got caught by Trump he deleted the tweet then issued a tepid, phony apology because he got owned.
Sure thing: I apologize. I deleted the photo after @dmartosko told me I'd gotten it wrong. Was confused by the image of you walking in the bottom right corner. https://t.co/fQY7GMNSaD

Then Weigel tried to distance himself from the Washington Post as it reflects badly on them:
It was a bad tweet on my personal account, not a story for Washington Post. I deleted it after like 20 minutes. Very fair to call me out.
Everything I say on Twitter is a joke, except what I say about @swin24. https://t.co/tI7SQnpoN9

Guess what Dave Weigel. You are one of the Washington Post’s main “reporters.” What you tweet reflects on you AND the Washington Post, regardless if you like it or not. Now Trump is calling on the Washington Post to fire Dave Weigel.
.@daveweigel of the Washington Post just admitted that his picture was a FAKE (fraud?) showing an almost empty arena last night for my speech in Pensacola when, in fact, he knew the arena was packed (as shown also on T.V.). FAKE NEWS, he should be fired.

Trump should know better. The Washington Post, like the rest of the corrupt media feed off this fake news crap. Washington Post wouldn’t fire Weigel for his fake photo tweet. If anything, Weigel likely earned himself a raise or a promotion with that fish wrap.
