Law Newsmax aplogizes for bad reporting

[AWilder]

When you post an example of CNN or MSNBC apologizing for unfairly slandering a conservative public figure over the last 5 years, I will apologize and retract my statement.

Can you share some examples of completely unsubstantiated lies/slander published by CNN and MSNBC. I don't frequent them for news very often and was unaware they are on the same level as newsmax and OANN

Like yourself, I don't frequent them for news often but their coverage of Trump (who I am not a supporter or fan of) was particularly egregious. When they lied about him, they just empowered his base to reject any criticism lobbied against him, regardless of how legitimate those claims were.

Two lies that come to mind instantly are the narratives that he labelled all Mexicans criminals and rapists, when he was pointing out crimes that some illegal aliens were committing.

I believe PolitiFact has already debunked this from when Tim Kaine made the claim in one of his speeches.

Another one I found particularly slimy was the claim that Trump mocked a reporter's disability. This would have been believable had Trump not used the exact same gesture to mock Ted Cruz, who by all accounts is not physically disabled, during the GOP debates. It was a gesture he used to mock those who are easily flustered under pressure, not an impression of someone with a physical disability, yet I still hear it brought up as if it's fact.

Interesting...your choice of fact checking seems to disagree with your assessment.

As far as the Tim Kaine thing, that sounds like an issue with Tim, not CNN or MSNBC?

Show me evidence that what I showed you in that PV article is untrue.

Two can play this incredibly stupid and annoying game. I'll give you a hint

I'm going to dismiss your evidence as soon as you provide it. So don't waste your time.

At least we agree using PV as a source of anything is incredibly stupid.

Still waiting for you to show that the evidence in that PV article is not true.

I would agree with you that it was a special brand if it wasn't shared almost completely with @MaxMMA

Thanks again for the free rent. Your head is both both spacious and comfortable.

But CNN and MSNBC have been peddling the same thing, which is verifiably false.

The mocking of a disabled reporter is not so easily proven true or false, but no rational mind would believe it to be true.

Politifact said it was true.
