While I rarely make the mistake of challenging my brilliant executive producer @laurenpeikoff ....I’m making an exception.@realDonaldTrump did NOT state some innacurate facts.
There is no such thing as an inaccurate fact.
Facts are true statements, backed by evidence
He lied.

.@MSNBC just broke away from the president's newser. @mitchellreports: President Trump started talking about police reform and an executive order but he's now launched into what would be a campaign rally speech, stating inaccurately some facts about the pandemic.

1. Call them what they are - LIES!

Thank you, Ms. Ruhle.

[gratuitous]

10. Even Colin Powell was able to say it last week

Simple, declarative sentence so beloved of editors everywhere: "He lies!" Far more concise, no weasel words like "inaccurate facts" and gets the message clearly to the audience.

2. I actually like Stephanie Ruhle...

[judeling]

5. I do too

Even when she was on Bloomberg.

[demmiblue]

8. I do too.

I still love this:

I know, naysayers. I know.

34. That wiggle was precious!

So excited she could not contain herself.

4. Well done!

[leftieNanner]

14. That Baby is SO CUTE!

And it breaks my heart that his Daddy has to explain to him about the ways of the world. Things that white Daddies never have to say.

6. Ruhle rules!!..inaccurate fact..

Another crap euphemism..alternate truths/misstatements/not truthful.. trump is a compulsive liar and that is a clear unambiguous fact!

[GopherGal]

11. Even MSNBC is trying so hard not to say "Lies"

... that they euphemized themselves into a knot.

That's what happens when you're afraid to call a spade a spade.

[leftieNanner]

13. Even though Andy Lack is gone

The word from the executive office must still be to support the R side of the aisle.

22. One I absolutely HATE is "mistruths"!! nt

[lagomorph777]

7. Thank you Stephanie. About time we use plain language for plain lies.

[luvtheGWN]

21. Facts are facts.

Lies are lies.

Pretty simple, really.

[BSdetect]

12. Its taken 4 year for some people to call a lie a lie

[LuckyLib]

19. Yes! We waited a long time for this.

[Mr. Ected]

15. Regardless of political leanings the press has always shown deference to the office of the President

Trump took advantage of that from Day One and forced the media to either change its stance or maintain it as it was continually being flouted. Took them 3.5 years, but they finally are starting to understand that Trump and the GOP consider this deference a weakness to exploit. Hopefully, they won't be similarly hamstrung by deference to the incumbent as a candidate.

18. Great analysis!

You got it - they found a "weak spot" and have continually driven through it.
ENOUGH of this "polite dance of words" - call it what it is!
ENOUGH of this "both sides do it" - tell it like it is!
BE PROFESSIONALS - DO YOUR JOB! TELL THE TRUTH, EVEN IF THEY DON'T!!!!!!

[ProfessorGAC]

25. +1

Well said!

[Paladin]

16. Amen, Ms. Ruhle.

Just because trump is an endless source of lies, there's no cause to label his lies as "facts" of any kind.

[MyOwnPeace]

17. You GO, Stephanie!!!!

I can't imagine the s**tstorm that would roll down if this becomes an issue for her!
Great move on her part - hopefully shifting attitudes at MSNBC to follow the lead of their people that are the face of their programming.

[malaise]

20. That simple

These fuckers want to redefine the meaning of a fact - there are no alternative facts. It is either a fact or it is not a fact.

[elleng]

23. FUN, that she's giving such lessons, FACTs is FACTS!!!

[vlyons]

24. Things cannot exist in impossible ways!

Ruhle is right. A "fact" is backed by observable evidence. Trump lied.

[StarryNite]

26. Right on.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

28. "Truth is singular. Its versions are mistruths."

29. ".. inaccuate facts.. " isn't that an Oxymoron?! TY SR!

[CloudWatcher]

30. Dear Media ...

Dear Media and especially MSNBC,

I don't care what Trump says. Ever.

You need to cover what he does, not what he says. You've done enough damage treating him as a celebrity, then a viable candidate, and then like an actual President. Stop it. Just stop.

I understand that some people need to report on what he says. They have my sincere sympathy. But I have no desire to try and keep up with his lies, hate mongering, delusions and tweets.

Take away his bully pulput and treat him with all the respect he has earned.

In the meantime, I'll go back to doing anything other than paying attention to you. Life is short and you are a waste of time.

32. The Mass Media Outlets LIE everyday.

This is an outlier.

Until we stop watching them and giving them $$$$$$ from ad revenue they will not change.

Boycott the advertisers and perhaps they will start to feel it.

Support REAL news outlets such as The Daily Beast, TruthOut, The Nation, Democratic UnderGround, and The Real News Network instead.

33. Remember Kellyanne Conway with her "alternative facts"

Double talk, 1984
