The topic was media coverage of Trump. It was pointed out that some 60% of Trump's statements are untrue, while for Clinton the untrue number is 13%. One of Trump's campaign people was on, and not did he not address the actual substance of the inaccuracies, but then went on to claim the NYTimes said something it did not. How interesting.

I wonder why so many of his supporters are so willing to suspend their disbelief?
