Donald Trump's nonstop lies, together with his endless cries of "fake news" and "hoax," make the role of media fact checkers more important than ever. Unfortunately, on the crucial issue of Social Security, too many of them are furiously defending Trump from his own words.
Instead of acting as a check on Trump's lies, they act like bullied children seeking to appease. They provide him cover, grade him on a curve, and give him every benefit of the doubt while denying that same leniency to Joe Biden and others. This is an extreme disservice in the lead-up to the election, muddying the debate over an issue about which voters care deeply....
Trump promises to end Social Security as we know it.

"Donald Trump promises to end Social Security as we know it." Funny that nowhere in the article is Trump quoted making this promise.
Fake news. How did the MSM ever earn that moniker?
Another Presstitute that doesn’t have the slightest clue how the Budget and Off Budget system works in America.
If we had Common Sense Licensing and Regulations for Presstitution involving Commercial Speech, this tripe would not be allowed to be published using High Capacity transmission devices.
Once upon a time it was 1) the only news available, 2) was actually mostly reliable, 3) newspapers actually had editors who kept opinion on the opinion page and NOT in the news stories, and 4) this was perhaps 30-40 years ago.
I wonder how much DC periodicals (that nobody reads or buys) pays their journos these days?

Where’s the barf alert?!
So Altman’s plan to get real Americans to laugh themselves to death before voting for Trump survived Fact Checking?
And they never run out of money for welfare.
Why is that?
Even the rat collaborators at the WasPos said Biden was lying about this. This propagandist just wants to scare seniors.
Just more Ipse dixit! AKA Fake News!
Ipse dixit is an assertion without proof; or a dogmatic expression of opinion.
The fallacy of defending a proposition by baldly asserting that it is or “Just how it is!”
Truth certainly isn’t Altman’s strong suit.

Nor are looks.
She is in dire need of a fact checker (and a fat checker).
The hill is just one big pile of dung!
Nah. Yellow journalism has been around in this country, at least since Lincoln.
The ugliness is extreme!!
I am deaf to anything they say.
Social Security was hopelessly bankrupt before Trump ever became president.
He throws these bombs out there because he knows the current funding mechanisms are insufficient, and fake. The IOU’s in the SS trust fund will be cashed using new fake money the treasury prints. Everything is paid for but the dollars buy less and less and less. American’s don’t know why they are working so hard yet their standard of living is deteriorating.
