This is why CNN sucks

Trump said that this was th first time in 50-60 years that the Teamsters didnt endorse a Democrat. Although they endorsed Reagan in 80 and 84, and Bush in 88, and no one in 96. Nowhere close to 50-60 years. But of course the female reporter nor Tapper corrected it.

[PedroXimenez]

1. Dana Bash explained it's not their job to fact check

it's their job to collect paychecks and sell their books

[whathehell]

2. I thought it was J.D Vance that said that

when asked why he spread the fake immigrants eating pets story.

[PedroXimenez]

3. she said it too

before the ABC debate. Fortunately the ABC folks saw it different.

[krkaufman]

13. Well, it's the job of journalists to do so

Arguably, Bash, Tapper, et al are NOT journalists.

[Silent Type]

4. What was she supposed to say, "No, it's been 30 years since Teamsters refused to formally endorse a Democrat

over a POS GOPer?”

[USAFRetired_Liberal]

5. She could have said

It has not been as long as Trump claimed, and then brought up what I said.

[Silent Type]

7. The focus is not on the number of years, that's inconsequential. It's that Teamsters should have just said nothing if

they were not going to endorse Harris.

[senseandsensibility]

8. Since the statement was not true

expecting the "journalist" to correct it is far from unreasonable.

[Silent Type]

9. 60 years or 30 years is hardly the kind of thing I expect to be fact-checked. It's still sucks that teamsters did this.

And that should be the focus of the news.

Nitpicking is not fact-checking.

[senseandsensibility]

12. Wow.

You know nothing about journalism.

[SocialDemocrat61]

10. She could have pointed out the facts

Which is their job to do.

[Silent Type]

11. The relevant facts are the Teamsters blindsided our team. Not whether it was 30 or 60 years ago that they screwed

us the first time. Wonder what people would say if pundits went back 70 years when many unions did not permit -- or made it tough for -- African Americans to join their ranks?

[SocialDemocrat61]

14. That's spin

It’s their job to report facts not decide what lies are relevant and which are not.

[Silent Type]

16. I'm glad the press doesn't get in the minutia, their job is to tell us the news. The news today is that Teamsters should

have just said nothing.

I don't care if it's 30 years ago or 60, or that Biden said insulin was capped at $15 when it was really $35, or that Harris said trump left us with 14.8% unemployment when it spiked at 14.8 but ended at just under 7%, etc. Like in the latter, the point is that trump left us a cruddy economy and mess.

Now, it's different if they don't focus on important stuff.

[SocialDemocrat61]

18. Their job is to tell the truth

Not decide which lies to correct and which to let stand.

[Silent Type]

20. So you support blasting VP Harris when she makes a point, but doesn't have facts exactly right?

Sorry, that would really be irresponsible.

[SocialDemocrat61]

22. I support the truth

and all politicians and elected officials should be held to account if they misstate the facts.

[pwb]

6. I see lots of women teamsters.

So there's that. It is just a job to these news talkers. They are not heavy thinkers, most. They have no street smarts. You are right Silence has become news. I don't know how many times after these interviews I say wait what?

[ailsagirl]

15. As bad as Faux news

[Self Esteem]

17. I get your point but it seems like a trivial matter.

Splitting hairs, really.

It's been nearly thirty years since they refused to endorse a Democratic president. Correcting him doesn't really make it look any better tbh

[Dem4life1970]

19. Wait? Trump lied?????

[dchill]

21. Facts are too troublesome in the Land of Trump.
