James Taranto of The Wall Street Journal describes the problem well: "Frequently they accuse politicians of dishonesty because the journalists favor a different interpretation of facts that are not in dispute. Sometimes their 'rulings' are mere opinions on matters about which they do not know the facts, or that are not factual questions at all."

This was seriously underlined on the first night of the Republican convention. Patricia Smith, the mother of Sean Smith, who died in the terrorist attack on our consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11, 2012, gave an impassioned speech on the convention's first night tearing into Hillary Clinton for lying. "For all of this loss, for all of this grief, for all of the cynicism the tragedy in Benghazi has wrought upon America, I blame Hillary Clinton. I blame Hillary Clinton personally for the death of my son."

Isn’t Brent Bozell a NeverTrumper?
I was disappointed to hear him echoing Lindsay Graham a few weeks ago.

Anyone whos heart doesn’t ache listening to Mrs Smith is not human. How dare Hillary’s minions challenge this grieving woman. I suspect Mrs Smith doesn’t have a dishonest bone in her body.

The entire media/celebrity apparatus of the U.S. bashes the grieving mother Patricia Smith, as if she were the wrongdoer!!!!

I’ve also seen videos of the horrible way the Coptic Christian man who made the preview “Innocence of muslims” is being treated.

BOTH of these people deserve to have relief from their persecutors—even the videographer who is not entirely innocent. President Trump should pardon him, and Crooked Hillary and her associates should go to prison!!!

...shouldn't be prosecuted because no prosecutor would ever dare take her to court...but of course since it was Comey's job to investigate and not to prosecute, he could say whatever silly thing he wanted and not face any particular censure - it was Lynch's task to pick up on the investigation and decide on prosecution or not - but since she said she'd rely on Comey's recommendation, problem solved - a clear dereliction of duty on her part.....

The fact checkers are all on the DNC propaganda team.

“Fact checker” is another way of saying lying, political hack. It’s just another way of spinning the truth.

Wikileaks proves that the MSM is the propaganda arm of the democrat party.
