Brianna Keilar is letting it rip (CNN).

She has been presenting an incredible indictment against Trump. She is giving a methodical commentary on Trump's betrayal of the American people through his ugly lies and racism.

The use of the word LIE needs to be used every day when discussing this criminal gang.

Bravo, Brianna.

Yes! I'm so sick and tired of "misleading" when they really mean lie. If I never hear the word misleading again, it may be too soon.

Headline in, I think, the NYTimes back when all of bush/cheney was lying its collective ass off every minute of every hour of every day about why we had to go to war in Iraq.

Hell, they were so squeamish about using "the L word" (LIE) back then, even when it was smacking us all - and them, too - in the face.

There is NO reason whatsoever NOT to use the word "LIE" in reference to donald trump. Because That's all he does for a living.

but, of course, that does not mean that I think they are all the time wonderful.

It suppose because I do not turn on the news first thing and leave it on all day I can take some transgressions, especially because it is not supposed to be catered to me and what I believe all the time.

She has been wonderful lately. I have not ever watched her since she has started really speaking out, just clips.

Good for her. Good for CNN for not stopping her. Hopefully they can maintain what they are doing now. I was not crazy about what they allowed during Obama's time in office.

Blatant falsehoods, deliberate deceptions, egregious distortions, malevolent propaganda, deceptive rhetoric, etc.

They should get their thesauruses out and use them to drive home the point. There are many effective ways to frame lies.

As an actor, I'm always feared the wrath of the Sound Tsar.
Pretty sure Obama can afford to replace one, unlike the average performer.
Also pretty sure Mrs. O have him a stern lecture about wasting money!

Actually CNN has been really sticking it to Trump when I've watched lately. They are quite a bit more pointed in their attacks than MSNBC tends to be, even though I love Maddow.

Journalists are supposed to present non biased true facts. Sad that simply correcting the record makes a political statement about the President of the United States.

But then I’m the liberal in the shadows who is controlling Biden. Hi!

Liked her ever since she gave it right back to Michael Cohen when he challenged her question regarding the polls.

He asked "Which polls?"

To which she responded (deadpan) "All of them".

starts hearing that "Fox is destroying America, and lying to their viewers" on every single major network, things aren't going to be put in perspective.

News organizations on every channel need to stop treating Fox as a legitimate news channel, and they need to start putting an end to the propaganda.
