    So President Trump goes on almost every day about the MSM fake news. At the same time, he spouts fake facts almost every time he speaks or tweets.

    There are sites that keep track of all of his lies and misleading statements...thousands of them.

    So what are some examples of fake news from the MSM media about Trump during his presidency or campaign. He just tweeted about NBC News, but what he is specifically talking about, I don't know.

    But there must be thousands of proven examples of intentional fake stories and facts from NBC, CBS, ABC, and the major newspapers, regarding President Trump.

    I'm not talking negative opinion pieces or editorials, but hard news that is FAKE.

    Thanks.

    Please post working links of intentional FAKE NEWS from the MSM. That's all I'm interested in......proven examples regarding Trump.

    I like the one when Trump said one in three women are assaulted on the dangerous trip north. The fact checkers called him a liar because the number was 31%. I pay no attention to the liberal media or their fact checkers or their polls. Sad day in America when the people we used to rely on are worse than the people they are supposed to be holding to high standards.

    I don't see "liar". I see half-true, a mixture, with a detailed explanation.

    Anyway, so what are actual examples of MSM fake news regarding Trump, his presidency or campaign?

    CHIP: Trump's budget cuts children's health insurance ...
    https://www.cnn.com/2017/05/24/health/chip-health-care-cuts-trump...
    May 24, 2017 · President Donald Trump's budget plans to cut the Children's Health Insurance Program by at least 20% over the next two fiscal years and slash Medicaid, which covers millions more.





    As always, the Democrats either flat out lie or only tell you half the truth. Here is the other half they don't tell you.( "President Donald Trump’s administration is asking Congress to cancel $15 billion in unspent government funds, including $7 billion from the Children’s Health Insurance Program, a senior administration official said Monday.

    The proposal is a Republican effort to claim fiscal responsibility after a deficit-increasing tax cut and a massive fiscal 2018 spending bill.

    It would cancel unspent money from previous years’ children’s health insurance and would have no effect on current programs, the official said.

    It started very early with Trump's claim that he was being spied on ,,, in his words, his wires were tapped. Months after the MSM mocked his assertion , we find out that everybody who Carter Page rubbed elbows with was subject to spying --- and Carter page hasn't been indicted for anything.

    Today, it's the claims that Trump is lying about problems at the border. We'll find out in court between now and the end of the year.

    The MSM has tied Trump to a policy of incarcerating children. It was a policy, but it was an Obama policy. There are pictures from 2014 that the MSM ignores. Way too much. As the year goes on, I'm hoping alot will be brought to light.

    There really have been hundreds in the last 2 years if you think more broadly right or Republican than just Trump.

    1. Covington kids story in its entirety.
    2. Cohen records that the buzzfeed reported on and Mueller team confirmed were fabricated.

    Those 2 are from the last month alone.

    1st reply to the OP, and you couldn't even follow the simple task requested.
    Provide the link.
    The link is the proof that the story one uses isn't fake.

    CNN Lied About Trump’s FBI Quote – The Truth Is In The ...
    https://patriotjournal.org/cnn-trumps-quote-truth-words
    Yes, CNN’s Cillizza flat-out lied through his teeth. He distorted Trump’s statement to say he stopped the FBI from investigating a sexual assault crime, but we know the facts: Trump was only repeating the agency’s own decisions. In truth, Trump said he’d support the FBI if they went ahead with a case. This is far from the first time CNN openly distorted Trump’s words or actions to make him look bad.

    Okay, trivial but legit.

    Looking that up on Snopes, they say the story was indeed false.

    And looking at the story on Newsweek, they start the story with a correction edit.

    Saying that 31% is correct implies that their data is more accurate than it likely is. If they say 31%, they are saying that it is closer to 31% than 30% or 32%. I doubt that every woman registers whether she was molested or not. Which means that accuracy is unlikely.

    Saying that it is one in three implies that it is closer to one in three than one in two or one in four. In the world of mathematics, one in three is most likely more correct. If I had to council a woman before making the trip, I would say one in three rather than 31%.

    I'd like the actual stories, not stories about stories...

    Cillizza isn't a newscaster, is he? He's a commentator.

    Well we some times have to take what is still up after awhile as you know they do most all get taken down. The one that hurt Trump most and where they really trashed him was the lie about cutting 7 billion from the kids health program.

    The Left is so eager to impeach Trump they take off on every story they hear, rather than check it out. How many times have we heard them say, they got him now he's going to get impeached over this?

    Trump said 5 out of 8 women. Doctors without borders said that was incorrect.. Trump lies easily. His objective is to whip up the mob.

    Trump riding on the coattails of Obama’s economic success
    www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/your_say/30325558
    Trump riding on the coattails of Obama’s economic success your say September 02, 2017 01:00. 2,175 Viewed


    But now that we're in the midst of a booming economy — which kicked in after Trump reversed almost all Obama's economic policies — we're supposed to believe that it's Obama who deserves all the credit.

    Yep. That's precisely what Obama and his Amen Chorus in the press want us to believe.

    In his speech in Illinois last Friday, Obama complained that Republicans were taking credit for his work.

    "When you hear how great the economy's doing right now, let's just remember when this recovery started," he said. "I mean, I'm glad it's continued, but … suddenly Republicans are saying it's a miracle."

    This week, White House Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Kevin Hassett wisely set the record straight. At a briefing on Monday, he noted that just about every important economic indicator showed the economy was stalling out in Obama's last year.

    Hassett explained that small business optimism had been on the decline before the November 2016 election. The percentage of businesses saying it's a good time to expand was, too. Business investment was stagnant. All those turned upward starting in 2017. Applications for new businesses are now well above the trend over Obama's entire second term, Hassett noted. And blue-collar jobs are growing faster than any time since the Reagan administration.

    Turnaround on GDP Growth
    There's more. The rate of GDP growth was decelerating in Obama's last year. It went from 2.3% in Q2, to 1.9% in Q3 to 1.8% in Q4 of 2016. Under Trump, GDP growth has averaged 2.9%. It was 4.2% last quarter and might be higher in the current one.

    The stock market also was stuck in neutral the year before the November 2016 elections. The Dow is up by some 45% since then.

    Real median family income didn't budge from August 2015 to November 2016, according to Sentier Research. It's up more than 4% since Trump came into office. Wages are on the upswing.

    The Trump Manufacturing Jobs Boom: 10 Times Obama's Over 21 Months

    The Great Recession officially ended in June 2009, six months into former President Obama’s first term. The economy continued to shed jobs until the following March. Manufacturing was particularly hard hit, with almost 2.3 million manufacturing jobs—some 1 in 6—lost between January 2008 and March 2010.

    As is the case during recoveries, jobs bounced back, with seasonally adjusted nonfarm employment expanding almost 12% from March 2010 until January 2017, when President Obama handed over the presidency to Donald Trump.

    But during the same period, manufacturing employment grew only 7.7% with manufacturing payrolls virtually flat in the last 21 months of the Obama administration.

    We were told it was the new normal.

    At a town hall in June 2016, President Obama famously said that some manufacturing jobs “are just not going to come back.” He went on to mock then-candidate Trump by saying he’d need a “magic wand” to make good on this manufacturing job promises.

    Months later, as the shock of a President-elect Donald Trump was still being absorbed, New York Times columnist and economist Paul Krugman tweeted on November 25, 2016, “Nothing policy can do will bring back those lost jobs. The service sector is the future of work; but nobody wants to hear it.”

    FACT FAIL: CBS Deletes 'Fact-Check' That Proved Trump Right
    CBS News on Tuesday deleted a "fact check" of one of President Trump's claims during his Oval Office address to the nation after it showed the president was right.

    "Women and children are the biggest victims by far of our broken system," Trump said about the explosion of illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border. "One in three women are sexually assaulted on the dangerous trek up through Mexico."

    CBS was running a live "fact check" of Trump's speech, and posted this:

    Fact check: 1 in 3 women sexually assaulted while traveling to cross the border

    CLAIM: The president claimed one in three women have been sexually assaulted traveling to the border.

    FACT: Between 60 percent and 80 percent of female migrants traveling through Mexico are raped along the way, Amnesty International estimates.
    That's right, Trump said 33%, but the real number is at least twice that.

    Trump: One in Three Women Sexually Assaulted on ‘Dangerous Trek’ to Border
    President Donald Trump pointed to the one in three women sexually assaulted on the journey through Mexico to the U.S. southern border as evidence of the humanitarian crisis.
    “One in 3 women are sexually assaulted on the dangerous trek up through Mexico,” Trump said in his address, adding, “Women and children are the biggest victims by far of our broken system.” A recent Trump Administration Congressional Border Security Briefing cited a statistic that 31 percent of women are “sexually assaulted on the journey north.” The briefing also cited the 17 percent of men sexually assaulted on the journey and seven in ten of those arriving illegally are “victims of violence along the journey.”

    WATCH: Epic Montage of Fake News Calling for Trump's ...
    https://bigleaguepolitics.com/watch-epic-montage-of-fake-news...
    This was the moment that the Trump-hating press had been waiting for, and it flew off the handle, demanding Trump’s immediate impeachment. According to a Daily Caller report, the words “impeach,” “impeachable,” or “impeachment” wer used nearly 200 times on cable news on Friday, until Mueller took the wind out of the press’ sails.
