To begin with, they went into the State of the Union knowing they no longer have any credibility with the public, and they came out of it forced to lie or pound out a series of tedious nit-picks. Or, in the case of the far-left Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler, had to pretend the sexual assault of migrant women isn’t as bad as Trump made it sound.
Here are the nine worst media fact checks of President Trump’s State of the Union speech:
1. New York Times Caught Fake Newsing:
The New York Times labels as “false” Trump’s statement about illegal border crossings being an “urgent national crisis.”
But it’s only after a paragraph of pedantic blah, blah, blah that the far-left Times finally admits a “record number of families have tried to cross the border in recent months, overwhelming officials at the border and creating a new kind of humanitarian crisis.”
In other words, Trump told the truth but the Times is counting on you not making it through all the blah, blah, blah to find that out.
2. New York Times Caught Fake Newsing Again
Although border apprehensions plummeted by 91 percent after fencing was completed in San Diego, the Times labeled it “misleading” when Trump said a border barrier in San Diego “almost completely ended illegal crossings.”
You see, it was just a coincidence.
3. New York Times is Caught Fake Newsing Yet Again
Trump said we have been fighting in the Middle East for almost 19 years.
Because it’s been “almost 18 years,” the New York Times calls Trump a liar because the New York Times will decide what “almost” means.
