120 Media Mistakes in the Trump Era: The Definitive List

New York Times publishes fake news about American Thinker  . . . "That assertion by the Times is a bald-faced lie. At best, it represents the jaundiced opinion of the Times’ writers, perhaps based on what they read or heard somewhere else on the internet, and then ladled onto my blog at American Thinker. Never did I say or imply that Fauci’s email about Mrs. Clinton was “evidence that he [Fauci] was part of a secret group'.” . . .

120 Media Mistakes in the Trump Era: The Definitive List  "We the media have “fact-checked” President Trump like we have fact-checked no other human being on the planet—and he’s certainly given us plenty to write about. That’s probably why it’s so easy to find lists enumerating and examining his mistakes, missteps and “lies.”

 "Our repeat mistakes involve declaring that Trump’s claims are “lies” when they are matters of opinion, or when the truth between conflicting sources is unknowable; taking Trump’s statements and events out of context; reporting secondhand accounts against Trump without attribution as if they’re established fact; relying on untruthful, conflicted sources; and presenting reporter opinions in news stories—without labeling them as opinions." . . .

49. May 28, 2018  The New York Times’ Magazine editor-in-chief Jake Silverstein and CNN’s Hadas Gold shared a story with photos of immigrant children in cages as if they were new photos taken under the Trump administration. The article and photos were actually taken in 2014 under the Obama administration.

Yet liberals continue to state this story, counting on our ignorance,
