We the media have fact-checked President Trump like we have fact-checked no other human being on the planetand hes certainly given us plenty to write about. Thats probably why its so easy to find lists enumerating and examining his mistakes, missteps and lies.
Our repeat mistakes involve declaring that Trumps claims are lies when they are matters of opinion, or when the truth between conflicting sources is unknowable; taking Trumps statements and events out of context; reporting secondhand accounts against Trump without attribution as if theyre established fact; relying on untruthful, conflicted sources; and presenting reporter opinions in news storieswithout labeling them as opinions. Whats worse, we defend ourselves by trying to convince the public that our mistakes are actually a virtue because we (sometimes) correct them. Or we blame Trump for why were getting so much wrong. Its a little bit like a police officer taking someone to jail for DUI, then driving home drunk himself: he may be correct to arrest the suspect, but he should certainly know better than to commit the same violation.
Sharyl is a very good investigative reporter
I’m surprised at the number of nitpicking trolls on this thread.
Attacking the author instead of learning from the info provided.
Which is very good
Well yeah
Glad you didn’t get hung up on samatics
Thanks for posting some the uncovering of some of the fake news that the author exposed so well
Very important info.
*semantics
(Thypo fixed for the grammar popo)
Very good points
She does an excellent job
Yeah she is still involved in a lawsuit concerning the government using illegal actions to try to shut her up
Thanks for posting your Attkisson ping list.
True
One poster mentioned she called them mistakes to avoid legal issues
And yes you are correct
Reading the info would be more edifying than attacking the author
She has to be careful because of possible issues of a legal nature.
so wouldn’t: Reporting Errors that Appear to be Targeting Trump make a better headline?
Could be
Perhaps you could mention that to her on twitter or her website
I’m not concerned about the title but rather the lies and fake news she is exposing.

OOps it’s getting late...
It does not include items negative to the Left the media has buried, such as:
Allegations of rape against Bill Clinton
Clinton Foundation corruption
Hillary's health status and episodes of coughing, stumbling, etc.
...
You’re welcome. Would you like to join the list? No charge!
p
Thanks anyway, but I see all the threads I wish to see without being on ping lists
:>)
How true
Attkisson needs to do that list, and maybe already has exposed some of those
Thank you.
You’re welcome.
Yes. Still, the hard part with my case is the judge is requiring us to have the actual names of federal agents before she will let us have discovery to get the actual names of the federal agents. https://t.co/tSm1x5nbKv— Sharyl Attkisson🕵️♂️ (@SharylAttkisson) July 9, 2019
