For years, Trump has littered his statements on California wildfires and other disasters with inaccurate assertions. He did it again on Wednesday. Here is a fact check.

Ease up on CNN. A lie indicates intent where there is plausible defense the perpetrator was misinformed. If CNN called these lies instead of inaccuracies, they'd open themselves to legal action. That said, I think you meant his statements *are* litter.
If you really want to piss off the Trump you should ignore him! Late night shows should talk about anything but Trump. I mean if you think about it, it doesn't take a great writer to write a joke about him. Kinda low hanging fruit.
Stop. Reporting. About. His. Bullsh!t.
"For years, Trump has made statements on the existing peril of California wildfires and other disasters with incredible prescience. He did it again on Wednesday. Here is why CNN and the rest of the Left was wrong."
Everything that comes out of his mouth is divisive - absolutely no praise, or acknowledgement of anything positive about anything.
He was probably ruminating during Carter's funeral how his funeral would be "tremendous, with a tremendous turnout, more tremendous than any other.. Tremendous."
Can’t you call an inaccurate assertion what it really is. It’s a lie or false information. Reporting like this enables the continuation of normalizing dangerous rhetoric and behavior. By not calling it what it is you are both complicit and an enabler
CNN it's not an inaccurate assertion. ITS A LIE.
You want us back then stop sane washing Felons LIES.
Truth is the ultimate defense in slander/libel suits.
Call his statements what they really are- Flat out lies.
Fact check for what? He lies. We know. Confront him instead. That's your Job, damn it.
What water? Where is it. How will you do that? Who can provide the expertise? They say... Who's "they" give us a name? What, When, where, who, how. Remember, the basics?
Why can’t you write or say the word “Lies”. This here is why no one with a single brain cell can ever trust you! You are the problem. I personally hate you for your part in ending American democracy.
Because they can’t prove he knows his statement is wrong. Allow is an intentional act to deceive. It entirely possible he’s just an idiot and doesn’t know. If he doesn’t know then it isn’t a lie.
"Inaccurate assertions," you say? If only there were a smaller, more defining word one could use, but alas, I'm subjected to this feces-filled, atmospheric anomaly.
Trump is a liar. He speaks, he lies. He “thinks”, he lies. He blinks, he lies. He sighs, he lies. He is an unrepentant rapist, felon, insurrrectionist, and liar. Cruelty is the only truth he speaks.
Be less afraid of lawsuits and more afraid of unethical journalism. The Society of Professional Journalists believes public enlightenment is the forerunner of justice and the foundation of democracy.

Lies are lies. Who writes this garbage? Y’all have too many college papers that put all the emphasis on word count, and none on substance, or something?
People, people. It’s alternate facts. Get it right. Because alternative facts are all that America is going to be doing for the next 200 years. That’s how long Jesus/Donald is going to live and he is going straight to heaven lifted by angels because he is not going to die. Hallelujah, praise be.
Fuck @cnn.com
Confront him to his face.
Confront his puppets when they're on interviews with you.
Tell them then not ask !
So how are you going to invade Greenland!!!
#FuckDonoldTrump
Well??? Water in California is most probably consumed since '2021' on ENDING FIRES STARTED BY SOME STUPID COAL BURNING AND FOSSIL OIL SPREAD 'CONSCIOUSLY MADE' ON FORESTS, BESIDES SOME NUCLEAR PLANTS STARTING SOME WITH THEIR 'EXTREME HEAT&RADIATION'!! Is P.Elect kidding us?? https://youtu.be/-XN1nmPBcSI?si=_LSDExs74rSrstLe
Start calling them what they are, and calling him what he is. They are lies by a rapist. They are lies by a racist. They are lies by a conman. They are lies by a dictator. BTW, your Jennings is a gross fucking man. I hope he's the final nail in your network's coffin. Y'all really fucked America.
Hey @cnn.com, you mean "lies." It's a simple word, easy to miss, and it doesn't sound as smart and sophisticated, but the word you wanted here instead of "inaccurate assertions" is "lies." If you need help with words anytime, just hit me up.
The way you phrase this it makes it sound like it could be a mistake, you should have said intentionally lieing to cause discorse. Right now, you are careful not to upset the baby elect feelings instead of doing your job. Do better and stop being a tool of billionaires.
People really want to see the word "lie," huh? Here's how it works.
Is he lying or is it what he believes?
That little opening is why fact checks come with "false."
We can assume his intent but journalists aren't in the assumption business.
I wish people would appreciate that. Or understand why.
Here's a fact check, @ddale8.bsky.social
@cnn.com
They're called LIES, not "inaccurate assertions". He's a pathological liar & he's proven it HUNDREDS of times. And you wonder why you've lost viewership?
‘Round here we call it a lie. See @cnn a lie is done on purpose. As Trump does it every time he opens his mouth. It’s not an “inaccurate assertion”. Call it a lie.
If only the English language had a word for “inaccurate assertions” uttered knowingly & repeatedly. A short word, maybe say three letters long, ought to do the trick.
And this is the next 4 years of nightmare due to US bizarre legal and electoral landscape. Impeachment on his day one in office is still a possibility.
Dear #CNN, ‘inaccurate assertions’ are boldfaced lies slandering #California governor @gavinnewsom.bsky.social.
Stop #sanewashing #Trump fabricated libel & report on the outrage of a #PresidentElect verbal attack during an enormous emergency! #LA-fires
Corporate media cannot use the words 'intentional lies' and look where we are, an axis of fuckheads who can be told the sky is black and they'll defend that lie to anyone who corrects them.
As many others have said, the word for inaccurate assertions is “lies”. Stop trying to sound smart, you never will when dealing with… whatever that thing is.
He lies and you allow others to lie and provide very dangerous disinformation when people are losing their homes and this tragedy continues. Shame on you.

He lied.
Say it.
Just once.
Say it on the air, and I might just tune in again sometime.
Fucking lies!
You’ve failed the country with your sane washing
He’s a fucking liar.
Call him what he is!

Who is writing the journalistic guidelines for CNN these days, Alex Jones?
Why's it so hard to say that?
Trump's the biggest liar there is.
A lie by definition requires intentionality. Specifically he would have to know that what he said was wrong.
There is no evidence Trump knows anything!
The paper can’t claim he lied. They would need to first prove he did know it was wrong.
Much quicker, simpler, and more accurate to just say “lies”.
Find your fucking spines, CNN.
Here's an accurate assumption.
This is a perfect example of why your ratings are in the toilet.
"Inaccurate assertions" 😂😂😂😂😂
LIES from a serial liar.
It's called lying 🤦♂️
LIES!!
You mean “lies”
SAY THE WORD LIES
& you are being wishy washy with your inaccurate assertions crap! Enough!
Is he lying or is it what he believes?

Stop sane-washing the man.
Because they ARE lies.
You KNOW that it's not just *inaccurate*.
Trump LIES.
That's literally his whole fucking personality. It's all he ever could and can do.
Donald Trump is the anthropomorphic personification of "lying".
@cnn.com

(If we're lucky.)
Unbelievable.
This... is... why... you... had... a... mass... exodus... of... viewers. Slow enough for you?
Stop #sanewashing #Trump fabricated libel & report on the outrage of a #PresidentElect verbal attack during an enormous emergency! #LA-fires
The Liar-In-Chief is lying again
"inaccurate assertions" are called "lies."
Media sane-washing Trump? CNN did it again today.
