The vast majority of the items on that list are not falsehoods, but rather (1) actions the OP did not like or (2) expression of views different than the OP.

You are an idiot who cannot read or follow simple rules of logic.

CNN confuses you because they phrase opinions as facts.

Remember when CNN did the split screen interview with Nancy Grace and some other chick?

They were trying to make it appear they were doing a long distance interview via satellite.

You could actually see the same cars passing behind them during the interview.


That was after the Boston bombing.

I only glanced over the list and didn't spot the lie that one douche canoe expelled about the law permits only the media to collect information from the wikileaks website.

Also, not necessarily a lie but fabricated facts when they twisted Trump's words about Veterans with PTSD.

This one has a filter and everything where you can sort and search the lies by topic, source, etc.



Dude, I just read through about 15 of these, and they are so petty it's ridiculous.

For instance the favorable ratings, when Trump had a higher approval rate at the paralleled time of Obama, it goes off of the favorability rating (unfavorable minus favorable), rather than just the approval numbers. All this shows is that republicans aren't sky screamers.

The wording of the "lies" are plays on words or him getting a percentage wrong by a couple tenths here and there. Again, petty.

In 2004, Dan Rather let his bias and activism ruin his career at CBS.

In 2016, CNN let theirs completely ruin their credibility.

Prime Example:

quote:

"We have ended the war on clean coal."


in fact: The phrase "clean coal" is inaccurate in itself. Even if one believes that "clean coal" exists, tough the term is a creation of industry spin, it is not meant to be applied to the entire U.S. coal industry, which is how Trump uses it. The phrase, the New York Times reported, "is often understood to mean coal plants that capture the carbon dioxide emitted from smokestacks and bury it underground as a way of limiting global warming."


Semantics about the term "Clean Coal" which they then go on to define at the end of the "Fact check"

Fake News CNN Don Lemon's biggest lies

8/18 Lemon falsely claims again, that President Trump said all Mexicans are criminals and rapists

8/14 Lemon claimed that he was able to purchase an automatic weapon after the Aurora shooting. When Lemon is corrected that the weapon is actually semi-automatic, he claims there's no difference

3/18 Lemon falsely claims Fox News hasn't covered Hope Hicks' resignation. In fact, Fox covered it throughout the evening that day

8/18 Lemon claims, without proof, that Trump supporters lie, cheat and steal from their mothers

3/14 Lemon floats conspiracy theory that Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 was swallowed up by a black hole

2/18 Lemon and former Clinton labor secretary Robert Reich float ridiculous conspiracy theory that Berkely rioters were actually right-wingers posing as left-wing anarchists

8/14 Lemon falsely claims to his viewers that there were many more witnesses to the shooting of Michael Brown who had not come forward because they were “afraid to speak out now.”

8/16 Lemon falsely claims on his show that Trump called upon gun owners to commit violence against Hillary Clinton

2/17 Lemon falsely claims that crime is down in Sweden, gets fact checked on air by Ami Horowitz. Lemon then claims a 50% spike in rape doesn't fit the definition of "skyrocketing"

10/16 Lemon Claims Hillary Clinton Did Not Laugh Over Defending a Rapist. When Lemon's guest reminds him there's an audio recording of it, Lemon claims it's not clear if it's Hillary Clinton on the recording. Lemon's own network, CNN, previously reported on the Clinton audio tape

8/18 Lemon claimed, without proof, that in 2011 Donald Trump told him he couldn't be a good journalist because he's black

3/17 Lemon falsely claimed that AG Loretta Lynch had recused herself from the Hillary Clinton investigation. His colleague, Dana Bash, corrected him

3/17 Lemon falsely claims white supremacists, emboldened by Donald Trump, made bomb threats against Jewish community centers. In fact, one Jewish and one black guy were arrested for the threats.

8/17 Lemon claims to a guest on his show that Brietbart news defends the "alt-right", a few minutes later Lemon claims he never said it.

5/18 Lemon claims, without proof, that President Trump is behind Rosanne Barr's tweets

5/18 Lemon claims President Trump is normalizing conspiracy theories even though Lemon himself has pushed conspiracy theories on his show

9/15 Lemon asks Hillary Clinton if her 2008 campaign was involved in the birther issue. When Clinton denies it, Lemon refuses to press her on the issue, even though all of the evidence suggests her campaign started the issue

6/18 Lemon appeared on The Late Show and claimed President Trump's supporters support border security because they're racist

2/18 Lemon falsely claims the odds of being shot in the U.S. are so high that you could be shot anywhere at any time. In fact, the odds of being shot in the U.S. are extremely low and murder has been on the decline for decades, a fact Lemon's own network had previously reported

7/16 Despite Lemon's 2018 claims that the murder rate is so high a person could get shot anywhere at any time, Lemon had previously implied that New York City didn't have a murder problem when Rudolph Giuliani took over as mayor

8/18 Lemon claims, without evidence, that FOX news stoked ANTIFA protesters into attacking police and the media

8/18 Lemon claims members of the media fear for their lives from Trump supporters, despite there being no evidence that Trump supporters have attacked or threatened the media

7/18 Lemon implies to his guest, Dan Rather, that President Trump is spreading lies and propaganda. Oddly enough, Rather was fired from CBS news for spreading lies and propaganda, a point that Lemon failed to mention

7/18 Lemon falsely claims illegal immigrants are less likely to commit crimes than legal immigrants. About 7 minutes into the interview Lemon's guest, an illegal immigrant, finally admits to being deported for a DUI. Oddly enough, Lemon's own network had previously suggested the Trump administration should be deporting people who drive drunk

Go ahead and add the Lanny Davis interview they're burying that contradicted previous reports stating Trump knew about the Trump Tower meeting in advance.
