One or two media mistakes could be dismissed, but 132 shows a pattern of intentional bias.

Just calling them “mistakes” is being overly kind IMO.

Mistakes are ok occasionally and accidental.
That definition does fit our scum sucking, shit head lead, lie oriented, propagandist, agenda pushing “media”
To: PhxRising
Market Garden and Desert I were “mistakes”, but still military operations.

"Just calling them mistakes is being overly kind . . . "
That was my initial reaction, but she begins the article by pointing out how the media accuses Trump of "lies" when they are merely opinions, failed aspirations, exaggerations, honest mistakes, or even the opinions of reporters. So she doesn't want to fall into the same trap, and is not making the value judgment that these were "lies," but simply that they were wrong.

It’s not called “fake news” for nothing.

Obama was in office for 8 years.
How many “mistakes” did the media make that made him look bad?

Only 132 in 3 1/2 years? I’d believe 132 in 3 1/2 weeks!

132 is a tad over 1 “mistake” every 10 days.
3.5 years = 1,277.75 days
To: PhxRising
Many of these are straight up lies. I will concede that a few are sloppy reporting or relying on a wrong source without skepticism, but the majority of them are deliberate.

Sharyl is awesome! She should get a Medal of Freedom for all the crap she’s been through.

132 is a tad over 1 “mistake” every 10 days. It's also a little more than 13 mistakes every day, which seems more likely.

I agree and can’t wait to use this when my liberal friends start their smear tactics up again.

“Deliberate Distortions” would be a better description. And, of course, none dare call it “Sedition.”

I like how she marks any item that is subject to further discovery of fact with “this item will be corrected/removed, if...”.
Sharyl Atkisson is a national treasure.
