cnn just showed trmp spewing lie after lie after lie after lie in his rally speech today

[spanone]

The reporter said "there was a flurry of inaccuracies in those comments we just heard"

Yet the inaccuracies went unreported.

1. I really dislike that particular reporter

She seems to think it's cute or charming when cheato lies.

2. They could have summed it up saying that anything he uttered other than conjunctions and articles were a lie. nt

9. no,

FUCK him. The lying sob. It WOULD be like a cheating criminal con-artist like this baby Huey to try to take credit for another man's accomplishments, wouldn't it?

11. Agree

5. I think this is the week he

blows a gasket. We wait

[BoRaGard]

6. She's not being specific for the sake of WHIMP, Inc. "news" bothsiderism

Thus her report is weak, and perversely misleading

[unblock]

7. Once upon a time, the media wanted their news to be full of facts.

8. I'm old enough to remember those days.

We actually had a rule called 'The Fairness Doctrine' https://www.reaganlibrary.gov/archives/topic-guide/fairness-doctrine

10. it's called a Gish Gallop

so many lies in such a short space of time that the debate opponent would use all their time refuting lies and never making their own points.

the reporter would have to take an entire segment doing that, and that time isn't available on fast-paced cable news.

so, all that happens is they get labelled lies, but what can be asserted without evidence (those are all lies) can be dismissed without evidence ( "you're fake news" ).

12. Of COURSE. . .

They should have called them out for what they are: LIES.

I have so little faith that any media outlet will do its job. . . MSNBC is usually the most responsible, but then again, they have Katy Turr on from time to time.

It just makes me sick.

13. Just a sprinkling of silliness.... A misting of mischief....

There they go again, allowing the fat fuck to fail upward

[SupportSanity]

14. How dare you call them lies! They are falsehoods!

Or untruths.

They used to be called lies, but that was before democracy was under heavy attack.

Then for some reason, we got politically correct. Maybe it was because you could be sued for accusations.
