More Leftist garbage makes its way to FR. The sources of Washington Post and CNN should be a clue.

Funny. I can't think of even one.

And I tried.

Why don’t they publish the quotes, instead of giving their followers generalizations.

Since Trump has been on The View 18 times, can we accuse Stelter of 18 lies? That’s probably how the Post would evaluate a similar error by Trump.

I don’t remember which site it was, but some conservative site recently analyzed several hundred of the alleged “lies” and found that they were either wholly or partially true.

“The Post has observed that Trump has become looser and looser with the facts over time.”

Yet we are supposed to take it on faith that this trash excuse for a news org that has been peddling in falsehoods, innuendo, skirting the truth and all sort of propaganda is some bastion of knowledge here?

They consider the president calling them “fake” news is a lie so I guess 10,000 would be just about right! Boy, that’s all they got?

He’s not a lawyer or a diplomat. He just speaks roughly without precision, but the ordinary person understands perfectly what he is trying to say. I doubt there are any deliberate falsehoods on their list if looked at that way.

I wish the WP would give this some context. Didn’t Obama say some crazy crap too never mind all the previous Presidents. I think all politicians just go there and say incorrect comments either because their staff have not fully investigated the talking point or they just want to make their point no matter how wrong they are.

As for Trump, I try not to listen to him too much and instead focus on his policy proposals. From there, I can make a decision whether it is a good policy or not. Maybe the Post should do the same.

RE: I doubt there are any deliberate falsehoods on their list if looked at that way.

The problem with the WaPo is they count one specific thing he says as ONE lie. And then when he repeats the same thing 10 times, they consider it 10 lies.

Take ‘This is the greatest economy ever’. You can dispute that statement and point to other times in the past when the GDP was much higher than today’s and then call Trump’s statement a “lie”. For me, the worst you can call it is an exaggeration. If he repeats it 10 times, then the waPo, on that basis, calls it 10 lies.

With this way of looking at things, which modern politician has not lied 10,000 times ( if they bothered to trail that person and count )?
