"No other country does birthright citizenship," Trump told reporters and the public yesterday.

"No other country does birthright citizenship," Trump told reporters and the public yesterday.
Not a single reporter told him he was wrong – that 32 other countries have it – even though all of the reporters knew that, or they should be fired for not knowing it.

[Deuxcents]

1. I agree..these reporters or so called journalists do not question the misinformation or follow up on unanswered question

They are worthless and don’t even support each other when one gets called out when daring to speak or ask questions..they’re annoying

[RetiredParatrooper]

17. Access is more important to these cretins

Heaven forbid they do actual journalism.

[PatSeg]

18. I can almost understand access

but they're getting access to appearances that are televised and their physical presence isn't actually necessary. Though he tends to be very harsh toward them, he still loves being the center of attention. If reporters didn't cater to his abuse and lies, he would be very unhappy.

I am still disappointed by how rare it is to see anyone stand up to him or walk out of the room.

[efhmc]

35. I was/am very ignorant about this so it would have been great to get the truth at that press conference.

But silly me, I should have known it was a big fat lie and looked up the facts on yea old internet.

[-misanthroptimist]

2. So...we're going to be the world leader by copying the "lesser" nations?

Even if what he said was true -which as OP points out it's not- what he said makes no sense if we're "the hottest" country in the world.

[Baitball Blogger]

3. By now the world knows if he's not lying, then he is exhibiting signs of dementia.

History is not going to forgive us for allowing this country to get dismantled to this extent.

[dave99]

4. There ARE NO reporters any more. Remember , these persons with recorders are just assistants with Press Passes.

[ShazzieB]

9. There are no real reporters on the White House press corps any more. That doesn't mean they don't exist.

There are loads of them on YouTube, Substack, etc, doing independent journalism.

[maddiemom]

39. Come back, Helen Thomas!

[modrepub]

16. Replace Them With

Dictation apps. Wonder how fast they’re critical thinking skills will kick in when they could loose their jobs to AI?

[LiberalArkie]

26. They can be replaced with the app that is used by the doctors when a person is being examined

[dalton99a]

5. Kick

[Mr.Bee]

6. They All Do,

And Most Do Voting By Mail.
But Don't Believe Your Lying Eyes
Only Believe His Lies.

How many of you have known a kid like this in school??
I sure did, and I remember he could not defend himself
and it didn't take long before he was paying bullies to protect him.

[AllaN01Bear]

12. thanks for the list.

[oasis]

13. Thanks for the list dalton99a

[Lovie777]

29. Conclusion...............

shithole's cult will believe him while his administration and Republican party repeats it.

[AllaN01Bear]

33. and the m$m.

[Ol Janx Spirit]

7. MAGA idiots will be twisting themselves into pretzels to explain how he is actually right...

...because those other places--including Canada and Mexico--are not actually countries somehow.

Because in their addled brains he is the smartest person in the entire universe and by definition cannot ever ever ever ever be wrong.

[OGBuzz]

19. My go-to place for 'MAGAt Pretzel Idiot' watching is CNN Newsnight with Abby Phillips. It never disappoints.

[SidneyR]

8. Reporters don't even defend one of their own.

When a reporter standing right next to them is insulted no other reporter says a damn word. They look like chastised school children.

[dave99]

11. Naaa, paycheck to paycheck dependants

[struggle4progress]

10. Shrub appointed them as part of a plan to push the "unitary executive" view

[maxsolomon]

14. Did reporters even get a chance to refute that lie?

It's a 1-way conversation with that MFer.

[obamanut2012]

15. Close to 100 do

About 40 do it exactly like we do.

[gordianot]

20. Those who listen to Trump are immune to the truth.

They do not want truth or questions to the dear leader to interfere with their state of bliss.

[lakercub]

21. Obviously he is wrong/lying

But even if it was true...so what? Is he mad we aren't more like Iran?

[Moostache]

22. Reporters too afraid to do their job should no longer have one...

If you draw a paycheck as a professional journalist and you let the BS hose go on and on without fail or challenge, then congratulations you identified at least PART of the problem...

The dereliction of duty and lack of integrity in many corners of the press is unforgiveable.

[Deuxcents]

30. Their profession/calling/job was so important to the founders that they're protected with the First Amendment

But like most in Congress, they’ve abdicated their rights and responsibilities

[karynnj]

23. Even if he were correct, using THEIR language, that makes us exceptional!

It really doesn't matter what other countries do, it is in our constitution.

[cab67]

24. Why would they bother correcting him on the spot?

He'd just tell them they're wrong and move on. Most reports will include the correct information. Most people would realize he's wrong, but his hardcore supporters would accept what he says as inerrant truth and some of those who know its excrement will still support him.

There's almost no point anymore. The best alternative is to simply not put a microphone in front of him.

[Deuxcents]

31. I don't know..they all need called out on the spot. Misinformation flows because of silence so he gets away with it

I wish we would shun him..that would have a bigger impact than giving him the spotlight every day

[cab67]

32. The misinformation would flow even if he was corrected.

Truth and fiction no longer matter to some people.

[Be The Light]

25. Christ!!

All they had to do was taken 5 seconds to ask google. What a bunch of incompetent worthless people!

[AdamGG]

27. Many of the reporters from right wing outlets

likely do not have the knowledge base to know that he's wrong, but more importantly, they don't care.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

28. Freedom of the Press is wasted on them.

[Beartracks]

34. The fact that he even uttered that kind of statement already told me it wasn't true. n/t

[Luciferous]

36. Shame on them for not speaking up.

[calimary]

37. The only thing you have to know about Trump is: he LIES.

He’s a LIAR.

He LIES ALL THE TIME!

He lies like the rest of us breathe.

There’s literally nothing else anyone EVER needs to know about the Donald.

[bmichaelh]

38. Electoral College

Trump is wrong again.

Many times, he says things that have no basis in scientific or historical fact.

There is a lot of things this country does that other countries do not do.

But Trump does not call for their abolition as long it is in his favor.

One is Electoral College
There are many others.
