Trump has never said all of the media are disingenuous..."

President Trump never said all Muslims were terrorists... instead he said countries harboring terrorist would be banned. The press and then the talking heads immediately misconstrued his words...as they do almost everything he says....they muddy the waters, so to speak, so you can't tell truth from fiction.

Marjorie Pritchard surely understands and sees this.....she didn't misconstrue what Obama or Michelle said, they called it "Misspoke". Ms. Prichard has a responsibility to present fact not fiction.

Actually she does, at least theoretically. There are laws against libel, with the exception that “public figures” must prove “actual malice” in order to win a suit. “Actual malice” is defined as publishing something that you know (or simply don’t care) is untrue at the time you publish it.

Big journalism has been so enthusiastic about libeling President Trump that they are IMHO at serious risk of establishing as a factual matter that they knew that they were publishing lies.
