NPR Lying About Trump’s Mexican Tax Proposals

[mudwhistle]

This morning NPR is lying about a new Trump Administration tax proposal on Mexican IMPORTS. NPR was caught saying Trump wanted a 20% increase on all Mexican EXPORTS. They claim this will only raise prices to American consumers. They see only the negatives and none of the positives of this proposal.

Factcheck: The proposal is a 20% tax increase on all imports from Mexico. Illegal immigration advocates claim this will only raise the costs to American consumers. This is true, but the point of this tax increase is to encourage buying American which will make doing business in the US with American made products more enticing and thus create jobs.
NPR is trying to be clever by using the term EXPORTS instead of IMPORTS intentionally to make it appear that Trump is trying to raise taxes on American businesses that sell overseas. In fact....the word IMPORTS was totally omitted from the story. It's an attempt to muddy the waters and confuse the listener. It's a little fib that can become a big lie. NPR itself wrote about this practice here. How Small Fibs Lead To Big Lies

I think quoting the WH would be more accurate than trying to change words or insert words that were not used. But NPR chose EXPORTS, misquoting the Trump Administration intentionally.

Oh, and you assume that our only option is to buy from Mexico. We don’t have to buy anything in this country now. Even Health Insurance.

Because that's impossible, making Mexico pay for the wall is not.

That would be a lie.

And Cancer is uncurable. It can be prevented, removed, or reversed, but totally cured?
That's a pipe-dream.

They are getting close to curing it...trials are still proving that the own bodies immunity is fighting it's own cancer when certain drugs are used..Stanford/ UCSF and some other huge hospitals are in the testing stage...
It has shown to fight prostate cancer so far..

Now , I wonder if it will be shut down because they don't want cancer or the common cold to be cured because there is too much money to be made..

Suppose the media starts blasting headlines TRUMP TO RAISE TAXES ON EXPORTS.

NPR could claim this was a true statement when in fact the White House never proprosed a tax on exports.

Does anyone see a problem here?

 

[Winston]

Mexican exports are exactly what Mexico IMPORTS into the United States.

What a fucking dumbass.

Well, dumbass, NPR intentionally omitted the word IMPORTS from the story. Why.....one can only assume. I was waiting for them to say what the White House actually said, but to no avail.
BTW, it's intentional omissions like this that leads to misunderstandings. This is just one example and there are many.

 

[blastoff]

Wait until Trump takes the knife to National Panhandler Radio's government subsidy money. Welcome to the sink-or-swim free market competition of the real world you lefty fluffers.

I doubt there was an intentional anything. I am quite confident that NPR listeners understand that it is Mexican exports that are imported into the United States. I am pretty sure they understand that the United States has no ability to tax Mexican imports, that would be within the purview of Mexico.

Your confusion is quite understandable. NPR is not like FOX news. NPR expects their audience to have at least the intelligence of a sixth grader and the ability to think critically. You should probably just go back to FOX news where they expect the audience to be dumber than a box of rocks and know full well that their listeners are too damn lazy to think for themselves.

NPR never passes on an opportunity to call Trump ignorant, nasty, igotistical, or racist. They feel that being nasty about the way they talk about Trump is going to change minds. They have nothing nice or fair to say about Trump. What it does is piss people off and make them angry. Like the way they're talking about the hiring freeze as I type this mesg. I'm listening to them call Trump ignorant and nasty about the hiring freeze yet Obama not only did the same but he also froze my wages for 6 years and nothing was said about it, particularly at NPR. They are literally beside themselves over the hiring freeze.
