NYT: ‘Trump Repeats Lie About Popular Vote in Meeting With Lawmakers’

How often did the New York Times and other media accuse Barack Obama in news stories of repeating lies and falsehoods? I don’t remember the MSM doing this to any other politician with the regularity it does it to Trump.

New York Times:

An opening montage of news reports contains several references to Mr. Trump’s unpredictability, and the message of “Trump’s Road” is that his combination of improvisation and obsession makes it impossible for traditional methods of reporting to deal with him. We’re now seeing the news media’s delayed reaction to that, as mainstream outlets (including The New York Times) attack the truth of his and his minions’ statements in an unprecedentedly aggressive fashion.

WaPo: “A journalist had misreported that Trump had removed the bust of Martin Luther King Jr. from the Oval Office.”

So when Trump gets his facts wrong, he lies, but when journalists do, they “misreport.” Got it.
