The lie that Trump said that KKK and neoNazis were great people. It was out of context and Trump[ clarified at the time he did not refer to them when he said that there were good people on both sides.What lie?The 'Charlottesville Hoax' slander the press routinely uses on Trump is a bald faced lie. And that is only one grotesque example.Actually I agree and disagree. Often what people call “lying” is news we don’t agree with, not lying. By and large I think our media is decent enough and we have a wide variety to read from, unlike nations with state control of media. It behooves everyone to read from a wide variety of sources, you get different views of an event that way. The newsfeed I get includes world wide news, from many countries.
That is a direct and unquestionable lie.
I don’t think so. It May have been a distortion of what he said. But he did say some very fine people on both sides and one side was side was unquestionably primarily white nationalists. The rally was organized by Unite the Right, a white nationalist group, and Trump’s statement angered people by implying a moral equivalency between those marching for white nationalism, and those protesting racist and anti-Semitic hate.
I will agree that a lot of times media fail to provide the full Picture of an event, strip things of context. That is why multiple sources are good.
