This is a NYT headline. The body of the piece does talk about how Trump’s post was “littered with falsehoods.” But the headline just repeats false and dangerous Russian talking points.
People often don’t read past the headlines. This is how misinformation spreads, and legacy media is complicit.

Ever since they called Leon's Hitler salute a "confusing gesture" they've lost me.
But they've been wiggling up Mango Mussolini's ass for longer than that now.
Plus, "littered with falsehoods" is not the same as saying he lied. LIE is 3 letters. It's easier to write, and has more meaning.
The Times needs to say this is false IN the damn headline.
