Frustrated Fact-Checker: Trump’s Crime Stats ‘Mostly Accurate
Breitbart ^ | 7/22/2016 | Joel E Pollack

Posted on 07/22/2016 4:57:50 AM PDT by God luvs America

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Seema Mehta, a Los Angeles Times correspondent covering fact-checkers during Donald Trump’s speech to the Republican National Convention Thursday evening, had to report his crime statistics as “mostly accurate.” Her complete headline at the Times blog was: “Donald Trump’s crime stats are mostly accurate but his conclusions are a stretch.” In other words, because his facts cannot be corrected and then mocked, his policies must be ridiculed instead.

I think he should push for death penalty for police officers. The federal govt steps in for hate crimes so why not? Got to figure out a way to make killing police punishable by death.

First line should read death penalty to those who kill police.

Trump back to campaigning Monday according to Paul Manafort, first up- Virginia... Looks like more desperation from the LA slimes. Have they fact checked the Shills known lies?

Additionally, a snapshot offered by looking at a couple years is insufficient to determine whether there is a new trend.

But two killings of Blacks by cops, whatever the circumstances, means that they are at war against Black youth.

Why not? In Texas the legal term is “capital murder of a peace officer “. There is one person who tried to steal my truck, then tried to run down a Houston patrolman twenty years ago. He got attempted capital murder. He’s still in Huntsville.

I hope Trump finds a way to punish the liberal MSM for lying to the America people, skewing facts or completely fabricating them and covering for the corrupt administration like a mother of a deranged serial killer who cannot admit that her son kills for sport. A day never goes by without them trying to shove disinformation or promote NWO, pro-homo BS, or removal of one or more constitutional rights down our throats.

The liberal media has been spinning things for the democrats’ benefit for 40+ years now. When they feel threatened, they really go overboard, so seeing how they are acting, they are afraid of Trump.

Perhaps someone (FReepers are the most knowledgeable people I’ve ever encountered) can answer something for me. If a person or corporation is limited on the amount of money they can contribute to a political campaign, then why can a television show like Colbert or his predecessor, Stewart, continually bash one party? By virtue, doesn’t that then make that television show a defacto arm of the opposing campaign? The air time is tangible, is it not?

And there was that one time he ended a sentence with a preposition ... So let’s discard the entire content of his address.

The First Amendment?
You can count contributions - they show up on a balance sheet.
It is harder to determine the value ‘in-kind’ contributions, when there is no evidence that they are, in fact, contributions. The media would plea that it “It is just entertainment, not political advocacy.”

So much for the FReepers who think Hillary would slice him up in a debate due to her encyclopedic command of wonkish stats.

It would be great for Trump to establish a “The Rest of the Story” type spot for radio and TV and web, to counter the Enemedia propaganda daily.

Every ‘fact checker’ in the MSM IS a liberal elite who hates Republicans in general and Trump in particular.

They are biased haters who lack to honesty to say who they are... It’s as if the Klu Klux Klan was ‘fact checking’ stories about race. Yes, even if they attempted to be professional ( as most fact checkers do) there’s the natural bias of their true feelings and hatreds.

If these newspaper ‘fact checkers’ REALLY wanted to be fair they would have conservatives on their work teams. They DO NOT...

Denver's channel 9 (KUSA) has an occasional “Fact Checker” employed after things like these.

Last night they sought to take on Trump's claim that unemployment in the Hispanic community has increased 2 million since 2000 (or was it 2008?).

Anyway, the fact checker had to admit Trump's statistics were correct, BUT... (!)

The poverty rate has only increased .4%, moving from 23.4% to 23.8% (I'm doing these numbers from memory, so bear with me!), thereby invalidating Trump's premise!!!

Never mind he didn't mention anything about poverty levels in the Hispanic community, or elsewhere, for that matter. No, we see through this sham Trump is perpetuating, and declare him GUILTY!

This is what “Fact Checkers” do these days.

They ended the segment with a smile, saying “next week we're going to fact check the Democrats”. I mean, this is such a target-rich environment, how can they miss?!?

But we'll see...

CA....
