'Peddle misinformation': Analyst says Trump flunked 3 presidential tests in single day

[Picaro]

Wow, some people actually read the moron's OP. Must be really bored.

 

[struth]

The guy in charge of the Rachael Maddow blog is talking about peddling misinformation? Haha

His mother must be so proud

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Biden took an IQ test and failed

LOL.

 

[elektra]

Trump failed 3 media tests yet passed the only test that counts.

Trump won the election

 

[Mac1958]

Trump isn't in there to be presidential. Or decent. Or honest. Or unifying. Holding him to any kind of standard is pointless and a waste of time. That's just where we are.

The Dems need to concentrate on making themselves more attractive (or perhaps more accurately, less unattractive) to the middle and working classes.

Yes, that great plan for grooming kids and flooding the country with feral third worlders is a real winner you got there. Keep it up!

Yes, we know you're confused and have forgotten what you're supposed to parrot here. Take your time, get over to DU for orders.

Obviously you don't know my actual positions on the actual issues.

For Trumpsters, one can only be in the cult or they're with the enemy. That's your worldview. I get it.

Boring.

And of course you have no idea what you're babbling. We already get that.

That would require democrats to tell the truth. Not going to happen.

It's bad enough that 77 million victims of misinformation elected this convict, but now he's spewing inaccurate information to the public and will do so from his office of the presidency.

'Peddle misinformation': Analyst says Trump flunked 3 presidential tests in single day​

President-elect Donald Trump "flunked three important tests" on New Year's Day that should have been no-brainers for any leader of the free world, argued MSNBC analyst Steve Benen.

Benen, editor for the official blog of The Rachel Maddow Show, said Trump's social media post about "migrant crime" shortly after a U.S.-born citizen drove his pickup truck into a New Orleans' crowd was written "from a position of ignorance".

Early Wednesday morning after the horrific incident that killed 15 people and injured dozens of others, Trump wrote, "When I said that the criminals coming in are far worse than the criminals we have in our country, that statement was constantly refuted by Democrats and the Fake News Media, but it turned out to be true. The crime rate in our country is at a level that nobody has ever seen before."

"The first sentence was wrong on multiple levels," Benen wrote, adding, "Trump seemed to be referring to a debate that occurred only in his imagination: There was no grand discussion about whether foreign-born criminals were more dangerous than native-born criminals. He appears to have simply made this up.

"What’s more, given the context, the president-elect apparently wanted the public to believe that the suspect in the New Orleans attack was an immigrant. He wasn’t."

Benen argued that by peddling this "misinformation," Trump flunked three presidential tests:

"First, he flunked a test of accuracy, pushing misinformation within hours of a deadly attack. Second, he flunked a test of decency, trying to exploit the attack to advance an ugly and misguided agenda. And third, Trump flunked a test of credibility, reminding everyone anew that when tragedy strikes, Americans just can’t count on the incoming president for reliable and trustworthy information," Benen wrote.

TDS, Rawstory and a very low IQ is indeed a volatile mixture.

Of course we don’t, you don’t even know yet, and won’t until rachael Maddow tells you want your position is

That’s the problem with dembots, you aren’t capable of free thought you just parrot what your propagandist tell you

Yet, Trump is all those things where as Biden Harris Obama Clinton were not

Debunking the Myth of the ‘Migrant Crime Wave’

In the past few months, politicians and certain media outlets have latched on to a narrative that recent immigrants, especially undocumented ones, are causing spikes in crime. Instead of gathering data and examining the issue empirically, they are making this broad assertion based on highly publicized individual incidents of crime by undocumented immigrants. All acts of violence must be taken seriously. But policymakers should not attribute blame to entire classes of people when individuals commit crimes.

The research does not support the view that immigrants commit crime or are incarcerated at higher rates than native-born Americans. In fact, immigrants might have less law enforcement contact compared to nonimmigrants. Focusing on the facts is imperative, especially given that immigration has become a top issue for voters ahead of the election.

Data does not support claims that the United States is experiencing a surge in crime caused by immigrants.

How liars create the ‘illusion of truth’​

“Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is a law of propaganda often attributed to the Nazi Joseph Goebbels. Among psychologists something like this known as the "illusion of truth" effect.

Repetition makes a fact seem more true, regardless of whether it is or not. Understanding the "illusion of truth" effect can help you avoid falling victim to this trick.

When most people speak they have an internal governor preventing them from saying things they know are not true. Conversely, trump rarely says anything that is true.
