Rebranding of former trump staff

It’s not just trump administration spokespeople that are attempting to create greater degrees of separation between trump and former staff now under indictment or active investigation by Muller, news organizations are helping as well.

I’ve seen ABCNews, NBCNews, NPR and Reuters articles refer to Manafort and Flynn as “Adviser” or “campaign associates”.

I don’t think I’ve heard a single news story actually call Manafort what he was, “Campaign Manager” and I think only MSNBC has actually called Flynn by his former title of “National Security Advisor”.
This is the actual “fake news”. More of the media attempting to play off of both sides to keep the conflict up and therefore their ratings up.

If the news media actually cared more about the facts and this country than they do about ratings than this whole issue would have been long since over.
