    The Media Just Can't Stop Lying About Trump

    President Trump’s half hour, impromptu interview on "Fox & Friends" last Friday sent the media’s fact checkers into overdrive this weekend. Everyone from PolitiFact to The New York Times to virtually all the Sunday morning national talk shows piled on, calling Trump a liar.
    But the media can’t stop lying about what the president says. Sometimes it can’t distinguish a legitimate point of disagreement from a lie. It is no wonder that people have tuned out much of the constant attacks on Trump.
    Just take the hyperbole on Sunday’s Meet the Press. Before playing a compilation of clips from Trump’s interview, moderator Chuck Todd exclaimed: “Let me put together this list of just outright misstatements, lies.” After showing the clips, Todd felt it necessary to emphasize yet again that everyone knew the statements were false: “Every single one of those things is absolutely not true.”

    ~~~~~~
    More and more people are becoming aware that the biased MSM would rather lie than tell the truth, even if the truth served them better.
    This administration has reduced regulations, lowered taxes, reduced the power of the central government, strengthened our military, asserted our country's interests in the world and upheld Constitutional rights.
    Americans in general know that angers the Progressive Democrats Leftists totally. The Right just thinks of that as a bonus on top of doing the right thing.
    The Fifth Columnists within the media have been constantly lying, dissembling and spin doctoring on behalf of the Progressive Democratic Leftists.

    If it involves President Trump and it is on the MSM chances are it is an out right lie.

    When I see something from the left wing media I start from the position that it is a lie unless proven otherwise. Most of the time it is not proven otherwise.

    Then you shouldn't watch it. I don't start from that assumption when I watch the conservative media.

    You are polishing turds for the biggest liar and purveyor of fake news in the country, so your whining is laughable.

    So, not being able to fullfill a campaign promise = lie? Well, here are seven pages of lies then.
    http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/obameter/rulings/promise-broken/

    Lefties seem to think Trump will run the office as an autocrat like Obama did. On the contrary, Trump tries to get congress to do their job and if you know anything about how the government work, congress controls the purse strings.

    That's wonderful, except we are talking about Trumps lies, not Obama's lies. You want to go tit-tor-tat, here is a partial list of Trumps 3000+ lies since he announced his candidacy for President in 2016

    I recognize that every single president has told a bald faced lie from time to time (which doesn't make it right) however you cannot deny that trump is a congenital liar.



    This is where you are wrong; all Americans expect trump to run the country in a professional, dignified manner, while accomplishing all of his goals. If the republicans control all three houses of congress, why is it so tough to for him to run the country? Why aren't cooperating with him? A big reason is because he has no credibility with a vast majority of the American people.

    Many Americans who supported trump now realize that the person they elected as president was a huge mistake and now regret it. I look forward to the November elections.

    And the more they lie about President Trump, the fewer viewers they have.

    Whats funny is Sponge Bob Square Pants has more viewers than CNN, and rightly so.

    Trump lies constantly.. Just this week he claimed that illegal immigrants had murdered 63,000 Americans..

    You want the press to cover for Trump? What are you afraid of? Trump has always, always been a liar.

    So you and your friends disclaim the fact that since 9/11 the deaths caused by illegal aliens in America does not equal 63,000.
    "While no official numbers have been compiled, it's estimated at 12 U.S. civilians per day. That's 4,380 murders per year. Since 9/11, in actuality, 74,500 U.S. civilians have died because of illegal immigrants. Whether the deaths have been attributed to assault, rape, drugs, robbery, or DUI the statistics do not lie.
    "The Government Accountability Office has data that show otherwise. Here is the leading sentence from a 2011 GAO report (GAO-11-187, Criminal Alien Statistics, March 2011)". [https://www.gao.gov/assets/320/316959.pdf]

    Elusive crime wave data shows frightening toll of illegal ...
    http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/09/1...htening-toll-illegal-immigrant-criminals.html
    Sep 16, 2015 · The explosive figures show illegal immigrants are three times as likely to be convicted of murder as members of the general population and account for far more crimes than their 3.5-percent share of the U.S. population would suggest. In the absence of comprehensive data, FoxNews.com examined a patchwork of local, state and federal statistics that revealed a wildly disproportionate number of murderers, rapists and drug dealers are crossing into the U.S. amid the wave of hard-working families seeking a better life. The explosive figures show illegal immigrants are three times as likely to be convicted of murder as members of the general population and account for far more crimes than their 3.5-percent share of the U.S. population would suggest.

    The above information makes your specious claim a lie in itself.

    No, stop deflecting. We are talking about your one talking point that the Left has spread all around, that making Mexico pay for the wall was a lie.

    All American's expect him to run the country a certain way? I'd say a lot of people would disagree. Many on the Left feel they can use any means necessary to accomplish the goal of enacting their agenda, the ends justifies the means. And so it is with Trump. Many may not like his style but results are more important.

    It's not difficult to get Mexico to pay for the wall ... Just put a tax on money wire transfers .

    The wall will be paid for tenfold .

    Tax on $26M in remittances for Mexico alone should do the trick. I was thinking the reduction in illegal crossings would reduce the wire transfers that eat away at economic activity in this country, but a tax would be better. That way maids and gardeners hired by Hollywood Liberals can contribute to defending our border.

    No Tim, you may be talking about one talking point but I'm countering with another which you obviously don't agree with.


    We simply agree to disagree on this.

    And when clueless righties can't address the facts, or refute them, they mindlessly attack the messenger. It's amusing you think this is in any way a valid rebuttal to the factual evidence I provided.
