grinreaper Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Is that really what you took from that? 70% vs 26%. My point in posting it was to suggest that yes, Tapper has a point. You have to fact check Trump more because he (demonstrably, statistically) lies more often. Simple as that. So, Obama was fact checked less?

Keukasmallies Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Has the MSM gotten over the fact that it fully backed Hill'ry for two contentious years, ordered the gowns and fireworks, then got face planted on Election Day? I think not, and for that we'll all pay dearly in terms of ever more bias and slanted approaches to the happenings in our country and the rest of the world. Thus bolstering the concept that revenge can be a true B word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) NATE SILVER: You Know, There Really Was A Liberal Media Bubble. FTA: So did journalists in Washington and London make the apocryphal Pauline Kael mistake, refusing to believe that Trump or Brexit could win because nobody they knew was voting for them? That’s not quite what Trende was arguing. Instead, it’s that political experts4 aren’t a very diverse group and tend to place a lot of faith in the opinions of other experts and other members of the political establishment. Once a consensus view is established, it tends to reinforce itself until and unless there’s very compelling evidence for the contrary position. Social media, especially Twitter, can amplify the groupthink further. It can be an echo chamber. Can be, and is. ADDED: L.A. TIMES WONDERS: Why Don’t Voters Hate Trump As Much As We Do?

DC Tom Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 ADDED: L.A. TIMES WONDERS: Why Don’t Voters Hate Trump As Much As We Do? For once, the hacks at PJMedia understates the screwiness of an article they're bitching about. The article does a decent job sketching the decline of the LA region since 1969, then concludes that the problem of voter turnout can only be solved by reminding LA county voters that Trump is president. But someday, relatively soon, Trump won't be president. And LA will have the same structural problems. What then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Here's a little chestnut from the previous campaign on how Mitt was portrayed by the MSM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 ANDREW MALCOLM: Trump is doing what Obama didn’t do. Trump has been meeting all along with congressional leaders. Now, he’s had, of all people, Sen. Lindsay Graham of South Carolina over for lunch. Then, Mr. and Mrs. Marco Rubio and Mr. and Mrs. Ted Cruz came for separate social dinners. Social is what Washington calls meal-time lobbying, and what no one expected last year during the primary campaign when Trump mocked those men. The other evening the Trump White House had key committee members in for drinks and social bowling. The president will be working that Oval Office phone to Capitol Hill, as he has to many foreign leaders since Jan. 20. Trump prefers that personal touch, as he did in his real-estate dealing days, the opposite of aloof. Both he and Mike Pence are holding a series of “listening sessions” with leaders from education, small business, big business, community banks and so forth. Somehow, recent encouraging economic news and the administration’s legislative agenda always come up, starting with Obamacare’s repeal and replacement, then tax reform. And most sessions end with POTUS inviting attendees into the Oval Office for a once-rare, much-coveted photo in that fabled place. Such focused attention by a president tends to increase support and mute disagreement, while fueling positive word of mouth about him and his plans, almost like an investment in a long-term real estate deal. Anybody who’s been in business for almost any length of time understands that they don’t know everything — or they don’t stay in business. That aside, you might be having some difficulty reconciling this report of Trump reaching out and listening to the people’s elected representatives — and even to elected foreign leaders — with all that talk about Trump being a Putin-loving autocrat.

Translation into plain English: Now that there’s a Republican in the White House, we don’t have someone to act as a blocking back for, and invite kids on air to sing his praises and ask for socialized medicine. http://www.politifac...s/donald-trump/ According to Pulitzer Prize winning Politifact, which fact checks statements made by presidents...Donald Trump lies 50% of the time ("False" and "Pants on fire" statementst). If you throw in "mostly false" statements, Trump jumps to a whopping 70%. 70% of his statements are lies !!! For comparison's sake, Barack Obama lies 14% of the time, or 26% if you throw in "mostly false" statements. There's a stark difference there. So Tapper sounds just exactly correct: Trump requires a lot more fact checking, because he lies at a much greater rate than Obama. Not opinion, statistical fact.
