The Jackson Magnolia, a tree planted in the early 1800’s by President Andrew Jackson and grew to become a beautiful part of the White House’s landscape, is being removed today. If you read the headlines from certain media outlets, you’d think First Lady Melania Trump is out there cutting the tree down herself with a hatchet and a flamethrower.

Multiple left-leaning news sites wrote some truly awful headlines about the Jackson Magnolia’s removal.

You have to love the picture Newsweek used. I wouldn’t be surprised if they accused her of running a Dalmatian puppy mill for fur coats in the next headline.

The truth is that the tree is being held together with cables and is barely hanging on.

And while it’s always sad to lose something connected with so much history, an offshoot of the same tree will be planted in its place.

However disappointing the removal of the Jackson Magnolia, the silver lining of its demise is that White House groundskeepers were prepared. For several months, at an undisclosed greenhouse-like location nearby, healthy offshoots of the tree have been growing, tended to with care and now somewhere around eight to 10 feet tall. CNN has learned the plan is that another Jackson Magnolia, born directly from the original, will soon be planted in its place, for history to live on.

But it’s just easier for lazy news outlets to blame FLOTUS for giving the order ala the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland. “Off with its head!”

Industry that complains about people deriding “fake news” should consider stopping creating it. https://t.co/q6PKjRY6Ck

First Ladies are traditionally the ones who make final decisions about landscaping, which means that Melania did indeed have to sign off of the tree’s removal – but did so after a report from the United States National Arboretum stating that the tree was no longer salvageable. And Chelsea Clinton even thanked Melania for her efforts.

Thank you to all the Chief Horticulturists and everyone from the National Park Service who have taken care of the beautiful grounds of the @WhiteHouse over the years. Thank you @FLOTUS for preserving part of a tree I & so many have treasured. https://t.co/VwzM1qkCDA

Some media outlets did write better headlines.
