Now get back on topic.

This thread is about journalism as a lying profession, not your undying love for trumpy.

obciously, you’re not a journalist

And Trump can’t tell the truth, no matter how much you stamp your feet, scream about the media and call opponents names.

Make all the excuses you can.

But the FACT is, the president is a pathological liar with a diagnosable mental illness.

FACT JACK!

LL is correct - back on topic.

Nixon hated the media because they were able to uncover his unlawful activities and bring them to the public attention.

President Trump distrusts the media because they make up and report on non existent crimes in order to sway public opinion in favor of the Liberal/Socialist/Progressive Democrat Agenda. Originally Posted by Jackie S

yes the press kept the burglary in the headlines, but the press' war against Nixon was from many years before, and if it wasn't the burglary (of which Nixon was not a part) it would have been something else just as they always search for something with which to unflatter republicans while ignoring the log in the eyes of dims

its not a story unless and until the press joins together in constant attack mode and they only do that against republicans

nixon was a crook, ford was clumsy, reagan was a dunce, bush was patrician, bush II was stupid, a draft dodger and a drunk from his early 20 years



its why the fake news media is the fake news media

Alas, after a while you will get used to his MO and you will tire of asking him that question.

You need to get real. You don't even know how corrections are added. They don't leave an incorrect story wrong. The correction is added to the story itself, first thing. Print papers have a "correction" section but they also have online versions and the correction is at the beginning of the story. They correct them as soon as they have confirmation they were wrong

You label these organizations as fake news but the only examples you come up with have a mistake in them that was fixed.

And as usual, you ignore the rampant and baseless lies that come out of trump's pie-hole.

People make mistakes. And others lie intentionally. The people you call fake journalists correct things that they get wrong, even if it's not fast enough for you. trump will never admit a lie, a trait shared by the vast majority of his supporters. You know that. trump intentionally lies. He not only doesn't correct them, he will keep stating them repeatedly, long after they're proven as a lie.

The saddest thing and the funniest thing is that there's no way you can defend his lies. You won't admit to any specific lies he tells.
You call the democrats the party of liars, the media fake news, and exempt trump from telling the truth.
The truth is clear and provable. trump makes shit up all the time. That's what fake news is. Making a mistake is making a mistake. A further difference is that trump doesn't fix his mistakes.
All you could come up with were 10 items that weren't fake. They had a mistake.

Seriously? You think fake news is less fake as long as the fake journalists "fix" their lies days later buried deep in the "corrections" section?

Maybe a quote from Mark Twain is in order:I don't know if it's in order but it applies to all of trump's lies too.

Your choices are limited and poor for your responses. There is no way to spin this without going off topic, "To tell the truth".

Can you tell the truth about trump lying?
Will you give us your definition of what fake news is?

trump's definition of fake news is negative stories about him. Do you agree with that?

If it wasn't the burglary it would have been something else? The press hated nixon first? For no reason, right?

Thank you for your opinion. It sure isn't anything else.
