Big money media needs to quit politely dressing up “Trump-speak” and “say it like it is”—Trump has lied, is lying, and will lie. Americans, demand that journalists pull no punches. Boycott MSM/Big Money Media. It’s propaganda and sane-washing—pure and simple.
Actually the New York Times and Maggie Haberman cannot use the word "lie" when it comes to Trump lying... falsehood is as extreme as they are willing to go...
No they can't. They are protecting trump. His base can't understand a headline like this. Most won't understand that it means he lied. So they aren't going to tell them.
This is the cowardly NYT. The word “lie” is not in their style book. The Times will always pick the most mealy-mouthed, anodyne word or phrase possible, sacrificing energetic truth for political safety.
He purposely does this, and lies because for the first few hours to days all ppl will hear is he is an immigrant, and any factual checks afterwards will be ignored and rebutted as fake news from the republican side. They don’t care about reality
Jesus,, and we’ve got at least 4 more years of this shit,, unless he croaks,,,, then we get JD,, which is actually probably worse, or the #2,, which is Mike fucking Johnson,, the slimy-est fuck I’ve ever seen. He doesn’t bank,, he has no bank or banking history,,, Bullshit..
They really have a hard time using that word when talking about him. They should stand in front of a mirror and practice it...."he lied. He lied. He lied." I mean he's gonna do it every single day so they really should get the hang of it.
He's gonna do it every time he opens his mouth. And Maggie and the Times know this. Are they going to own it and call him a liar? Don't hold your breath.
Legally, Trump would had to have known he was lying and deliberately misleading people. That’s tough to prove in court. Media could get sued for slander. That’s why they don’t say lie.
But Trump doesn’t know the difference between a lie and the truth. He says what he wants you to believe.
Why start now? She sane washes him and allows his lies to be ‘halfway round the world before the truth has got its boots on.’ God forbid his lies are called out or challenged.
Or how about CNN's story about his statement with his 'thoughts' for the victims, then saying 'it went on to say'. Completely misleading. He FIRST talked his nonsense 'I told you so' before remembering to mention victims.
Lying infers intent.
Lying means he KNEW it was false but said it anyway, with reckless disregard for the truth.
He is too stupid to have done that.
His defense is he is SO STUPID he believed what he heard; if he truly believed then it isn’t a lie and calling it a lie opens them up to defamation.
This is such a thing with @nytimes.com - they don’t want to say he lies because the editor (Dean Basquet) said it desensitises people to the world, but they’ve only helped desensitise people to the act.
Don't let this distract you from the fact that on September 16th of 2011, Rebecca Black released the now famous jubilant anthem in praise of Friday and the weekend which follows it.
If you're talking about the ABC lawsuit, they would have won that lawsuit. But by "settling" the case, they can give Trump a bribe right out in front of the whole country.
And this is why traditional media is dying. No one wants to hear their bowing to the whim of the administration. Whatever happened to hard-hitting true journalism? Now everyone with a press badge, has knee pads and ChapStick at the ready.
Ghost the New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Politico, Morning Joe, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. They are all pro-Trump or have bent the knee.
We need truth and courage, not capitulation and cowardice.
Marjorie, did you wrote that it was an illegal migrant that just enter the Biden’s border just 2 days ago.!!!!!! That was a good story too bad it didn’t turn out to be anything else than a lie. But that is no news , the usual.
Can you even dream Trump retracting himself …. Be serious this will NEVER happen. If he said he was an immigrant than this is the truth no matter what the fake news or the justice department said. They are the one lying not him , he said that he is called honest Don… almost funny !
The sane-washing will continue for the next 4 yrs and I'm dreading it. I haven't watched cable news since election night. I canceled my online subscriptions. I've had enough.
Ohhh no MAGA Maggie could and wouldn't EVER say that. Has to keep that sweet sweet access , or Jonathan Swan and Peter Baker will get all the scoops ..
You know every fuckin disgusting maga cnt had their fingers crossed, frothing at the mouth hoping and praying to baby jebus it was an immigrant.....but at least he had a funny name!!......
It appears from all these comments, that he prefers a situation like in Germany 80 years ago - only Germans, tall, blonde, no mix with other races......
And the frightening thing is, all his voters voted for this.
Yes please stop with the bullshit and call a lie a lie. Your incoming president lies, he lies all the time. And while we are stating truths, it's okay to say the incoming president is an idiot or an imbecile - the entire world knows this so state it correctly
Yes! Our local news @ketv7.bsky.social just had an anchor report "Trump's heart goes out to the people..". Said NOTHING ABOUT HIS LIE! That is what is wrong with most local media!
He LIED? *GASP*. I would say he did but then I also find it feasible he just heard the man's name and immediately believed that no person with that name could be born in the USA, so he naturally assumed he was an immigrated, crossing illegally into the USA & posted before anyone told him otherwise.
I mean any person that doesn't look like him or has a 'non-American' name, Trump immediately assumes they are an illegal immigrant. So did he lie or did he just auto-assumed something and didn't care to learn the actual truth? Of course he'll double down & call the suspect's parents illegal now.
'COMPLYING IN ADVANCE HEADLINE' COURSE: Today, students, we study a superb example from the @nytimes.com on how to soften the blow of something ugly and awful the President-to-be said and did. Remember! When access is everything your headlines should maintain that access, never, ever jeopardize it!
Oh you know vice president Von shits himself didn’t hear past the headline read out loud to him because you know he didn’t read it himself and his followers excuses for. him will be that guy doesn’t count. President Von shits himself can’t even read.
Trump’s comment was likely made out of ignorance, assuming someone with his name was an immigrant, thereby lacking the requisite intent to deceive for a lie- since you want to challenge word selection.
He told 30,000 lies in his first term alone. He’s a congenital liar. So, yes, he lied. And, yes, he’s also ignorant. He’s the president-elect of the US. He should check first before making assumptions, plus he has people he could ask. No excuses for this.

So no. Not lies
#fucktrump
He lied.
But Trump doesn’t know the difference between a lie and the truth. He says what he wants you to believe.
As my grandmother would have said -'' its enough to make a cat laugh''
Incompetent bunch of frightened sycophants.
It’s pathetic.
Lying means he KNEW it was false but said it anyway, with reckless disregard for the truth.
He is too stupid to have done that.
His defense is he is SO STUPID he believed what he heard; if he truly believed then it isn’t a lie and calling it a lie opens them up to defamation.
It’s the same

I think he just jumped to his usual racist conclusion.
We need truth and courage, not capitulation and cowardice.
Or that of the #NYT?
Once you've thrown it, you can't unthrow it.
That's why he throws it.
She will ALWAYS soften up DJT's actions and words. Truth only comes when she has a book to write and sell.
The unics @washingtonpost.com , @abc, @fox, et al, can collectively suck my dick.
It appears from all these comments, that he prefers a situation like in Germany 80 years ago - only Germans, tall, blonde, no mix with other races......

/s
to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive
Or for the noun:
or believed by the speaker or writer to be untrue with intent to deceive
So yes he lied. His intention is consistent and obvious.
That's his way forward. Same as ever.
