Yes- indeed the 'honest' media includes CNN.
The difference between the honest media and Donald Trump is when the honest media reports something and it turns out to be incorrect- the media admits its mistake and retracts the story.
Trump of course- just doubles down and blames Hillary or Obama or the Democrats for his lies.
You know- like he blamed Clinton for his 5 years of being King Birther/liar.
Huge problem is CNN makes up BS stories, blows the hell out of them, and if a retraction is made it's buried somewhere where virtually no one sees or hears of a retraction....dumbass.
So you admit that CNN does make retractions. Something Trump never does- regardless of how much he has blown up one of his own BS stories.
I will be glad to compare CNN's record of accurately reporting stories- to the accuracy of Trump's tweets.
CNN does get some things wrong- has CNN made up stories out of thin air specifically to attack others- like Trump has? I am not aware of those- but again- I would be glad to compare the accuracy of CNN versus the accuracy of Donald Trump.
Lets start with Birtherism.
Donald Trump spent 5 years promoting BS birther stories, and blowing them up- and never issued a retraction.
Instead- when he suddenly announced he was no longer a Birther- he blamed it all on Clinton.
And you Trumpsters just accepted his 'non-retraction'
I am all for comparing the accuracy of CNN to Trump.
Go for it.
No, I agree, CNN does make retractions. Although, they build the BS up to a fever pitch and if and when they make a retraction it's embedded somewhere where no one usually sees it. How about using Time magazine as an example, front cover, Trump has split a family apart, Trump towering over a little girl. Most of us know by now that was a fake story and proven fake by the little girls parents. Was there a retraction? Personally I don't know, certainly wasn't one on the front cover of a Time magazine. BTW, before you or some other lefty plan on explaining how Time is not CNN or CNN is not Time, save the BS, Time was used as an example....dumbass.
I am more than happy to compare the honesty of Trump versus the honesty of Trump- when it comes to the issue of the border and child separation.
Time Magazine cover is an excellent place to start. Did Time Magazine make a false statement on the cover?
So no false statement but it is a photo shopped image- yes- President Trump didn't actually stand in front of that little girl. Do you think that Time was trying to fool you into thinking that he was in front of the little girl- or was this intended to be 'representational'?
What was the fake story of this cover?
Perhaps you are confusing this cover- with the photo behind it:
Now that photo is a true photo- but it is not a photo of a child who was actually separated- because of Trump's policies- from her parents.
And that was originally misstated- and corrected:
Correction (Posted June 19): The original version of this story misstated what happened to the girl in the photo after she was taken from the scene. The girl was not carried away screaming by U.S. Border Patrol agents; her mother picked her up and the two were taken away together.
So Time did retract the original mistaken statement- but not the cover- because the cover was not a mistake
Now let us compare Time's actions with Trump and those of his administration
“I hate the children being taken away. The Democrats have to change their law. That’s their law.”
— President Trump, in remarks to reporters at the White House, June 15
“We have the worst immigration laws in the entire world. Nobody has such sad, such bad and, actually, in many cases, such horrible and tough — you see about child separation, you see what’s going on there.”
— Trump, in remarks at the White House, June 18
“Because of the Flores consent decree and a 9th Circuit Court decision, ICE can only keep families detained together for a very short period of time.”
— Attorney General Jeff Sessions, in a speech in Bozeman, Mont., June 7
“It’s the law, and that’s what the law states.”
— White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, at a news briefing, June 14
“We do not have a policy of separating families at the border. Period.”
— Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, on Twitter, June 17
Analysis | The facts about Trump’s policy of separating families at the border
As we found out when Trump signed his executive order ending the policies- those statements were all false.
And Trump has never retracted his claims blaming the actions of his own administration- on the Democrats.
Who was more honest when it came to describing the situation at the border- Trump or Time?
