The weekend America's newspapers called Donald Trump a liar
CNN ^ | 26 Sep 2016 | Brian Stetler

Posted on 09/26/2016 10:49:53 AM PDT by tcrlaf

On the weekend leading up to 2016's first presidential debate, four news organizations came to a similar and sweeping conclusion: Donald Trump lies more often than Hillary Clinton.

In a normal election year this would be extraordinary. On Sunday editors and reporters at the newsrooms used another word: necessary.

The New York Times story — "A Week of Whoppers" — came out first on Saturday. Politico, The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times all followed within hours.

Several of the editors who were involved said the timing was a coincidence. But there was clearly a desire to publish stories before Monday's debate, when Trump and Clinton's truthfulness will surely be at issue.

"Never in modern presidential politics has a major candidate made false statements as routinely as Trump has," the L.A. Times declared on page one of Sunday's paper.

More fuel for the Media's "Trump must not be ALLOWED to be President!" campaign.

For CNN, there is no other news happening on the ENTIRE PLANET, in any category, more important than stopping Trump to help Hillary win.

Poor Brian Stetler... It must suck to work someplace where if you are seen by others to not clap loudly enough, and cheer happily enough for evil, you'll be unemployed.

Projection to put Trump on pre-debate defensive in the minds of the uninformed.

The coordination between the MSM and the Clinton campaign is the real story here. Paging wikileaks

What does it really mean when the biggest liar of all calls someone else a liar?

The US mainstream media is completely deranged.
Democrat “liberalism” should be an entire section of the psychiatric diagnostic manual. It is indeed one of the worst mind diseases known to man. How sad.

All a set-up. I’m sure Lester Holt, the Affirmative Action debate moderator will ask Trump about this.

Right. If there is anyone in the country stupid enough to believe that they shouldn't be voting. Hell, they shouldn't be walking around without a minder.

Brings the "dark" speech meme to mind. All of a sudden every MSM rag in the country just happens to use the same word. What a co-inky-dinky!

Top-of-the-hour, every hour, news on ABC radio has the now obligatory alarm of Trump, and only Trump, lying during the debate every time he speaks.

Evidently, we are to believe that every time Hillary speaks, it is gospel truth.

All the anti-Trump hysteria by the MSM is coordinated, time and time again. Someone is handing out marching orders to the media to stay in lockstep against Trump and to protect Hillary. Unbelievable MSM, in more ways than one.

Trump truthfully stated that it was Hillary’s team that started the birthism stuff - past news reports from 2008 SHOWED THAT TO BE THE TRUTH!

And, the fact remains that the birth certificate that Obama put forward IS FAKE! THAT IS A KNOWN FACT!

You take these two FACTS which the news media acts as if these are dis-proven, and then the news media asks Trump about the birther stuff over and over all week - he answers the EXACT SAME ALL WEEK, and then you CLAIM that he lied every few minutes about something that THEY are lying about.

Doesn’t that sum up this crap?

More importantly, they are doing this for one reason, and one reason only! HILLARY IS A KNOWN, DOCUMENTED LIAR! But, they are trying to nail Trump with this low-ball crap so they can say, “Our records show that he lies just as much as Hillary...nothing to see here, move along, move along!”

Forget the fact that her lies put peoples LIVES IN DANGER!!!

Liberalism is usually fatal unless treated with a heavy dose of reality.

Said another way, it is obvious that the JournoList still exists in some way.

You can infer from the lib news in this country simultaneously calling Trump a liar that this is going to be the oft repeated them espoused by Hillary tonight as well as “her” moderator/fact checker.

Very simple. They all got their marching orders from the DNC. Being the lap dogs they are they are performing as expected of lap dogs.
