Yea...the media sometimes gets information wrong. In an attempt to get the story out.....they go with incomplete informationProblem is that when Trump spouts off without thinking it takes several days before he can rephrase what he "really " saidtrump talks a lot w/o verifying things first. intentional or not, still annoying yes. but i can't think of ANY president in my own time that made it through office w/o everyone calling them a liar. so it's not like he's the first and certainly won't be the last.so tell me son, are any of these "trump lies" on your list?Telling the truth following the party/Trump line?
78 Media Mistakes in the Trump Era: The Definitive List | Sharyl Attkisson
if so - then you should be mad at the media for what, 78 lies about his activities? i tell ya, if this man lies as much as you and the left claim, why do you have to make up so many "more" about him? how come you're not bitching at these lies?
Well the thing you keep seeing in those mistakes reading that list are resignations and retractions and corrections. So yeah, I wish they'd get the full story before reporting and sometimes corraborate better. But I am glad they hold themselves accountable.
Now of the 9014 lies from Trump since his Presidency, how many resignations or corrections have been offered?
And of all the media, thousands of people, a list of 78 of which it seems nearly all have been corrected or amended voluntarily as new or correct information presented itself is not bad especially when you read the list and see how small some are.
And many of those are not. For example the one a few months ago that Trump was LIKELY to fire DHS secretary Nielsen the following week. I don't see how that is proven as a lie, even if he chose not to at that time.
Many others are just coverage of people lying, where the media covered someone claiming a racial attack and called it an ALLEGED attack.
And some were not intentional lies, but actual typo's. Like the Virginia exports to Canada/Mexico, showing the impact tariffs may have. They listed that as $800, which obviously wouldn't fit the story that tariffs could hurt their economy. That was corrected to 800 million. I don't see that as a lie myself. The revised correction actually fit the narrative of the story.
And there are just SO MANY from him. How bad is it that we just accept our President is lying to us Constantly.
Just last week it was:
windmill cancer
4 hangers of people celebrating him (there was only one there)
3% of asylum seekers returning for a trial (even though the participants had a 100 percent attendance record at court hearings according to the program itself. They also had a 99 percent rate of check-ins and appointments with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to a report by the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General.)
The worlds largest oil field (not even close to Saudi Arabias)
the best employment and unemployment numbers ever (actually not the lowest employment and workforce participation well down from 20 years ago).
No empty seats at the Cruz Rally (there were thousands).
Only trump gets Article II obstruction (literally was part of impeachment proceeding for Nixon/Clinton)
The power grid can't handle the variability of wind energy (Energy dept says it can)
He was joking about releasing hillary's emails...
And those are just off the top of my head. It sucks I think that we have to expect the President to just lie continuously to America and will not apologize but continue to deny cold hard facts.
however, when it comes to our "media" it's a fucking joke. to lie back because he keeps waffling like he does? that's not how i grew up on journalism. it was my minor in college and to see what has been done to my former profession kills me at times.
it's their job to get to the facts, not attack any particular person w/o regard for the truth.
Remember his lame excuse when he defended Putin over his own intelligence?
when i see you go after the media for the 78 and counting things they got wrong about trump, you'll have a voice in my world. til then you're an annoying gnat who just screams YEA at a lot.
No, you can’t compare the faults of Trump with the faults of the media
When the media gets something wrong, they will immediately issue a retraction or reprint with the latest information
Trump intentionally issues lies, lies he knows are wrong. When challenged with the actual facts, he not only repeats the lie, but makes his staff back him up
