162 lies and distortions in a news conference. NPR fact checks former President Trump
NPR ^ | August 11, 2024 | Domenico Montanaro

Posted on 08/11/2024 2:25:19 PM PDT by willk

A team of NPR reporters and editors reviewed the transcript of his news conference ..

1. “I think our country right now is in the most dangerous position it’s ever been in from an economic standpoint…”

..but gross domestic product still grew at a relatively healthy annual clip of 2.8% in April, May and June – which is faster than the pace in three of the four years when Trump was president.

2. “…from a safety standpoint, both gangs on the street…”

Nationally, violent crime-has been trending way down after a surge in 2020, according to the most recent data from the FBI.

3. “...and frankly, gangs outside of our country in the form of other countries that are, frankly, very powerful. They’re very powerful countries.”

..FBI Director Christopher Wray has said the greatest threat to the country is domestic extremism.

7. “Kamala's record is horrible. She's a radical left person at a level that nobody's seen.”

It’s debatable how liberal Harris is.

8. “She picked a radical left man.”

Few, if any, reasonable people would say Walz is a “radical left man.”

11. “He doesn't want to have any form of safety for our country.”

Trump himself praised Walz’s handling of the aftermath of the George Floyd murder at the hands of a police officer.

14. “She's the border czar. By the way, she was the border czar, 100%. And all of a sudden, for the last few weeks, she's not the border czar anymore, like nobody ever said it.”

Harris was never appointed “border czar.”

17. “Rasmussen came out today. We're substantially leading.”

Trump is not substantially leading, and 17. “Rasmussen came out today. We're substantially leading.”

Trump is not substantially leading, and Rasmussen is viewed as one of the least credible pollsters in the country.

Healthy 2.8% growth? First, it will, as usual, be revised down. Second, 2.8% is anemic.

This is all opinions or “somebody else says something different”. This isn’t fact-checking, by any stretch of the imagination. But people like Buttiegig act as if this is substantiation to call Trump the Olympic winner of lying.

Sick.

Seems like these people have no idea what “fact-checking” even means.

X had it right - NPR is nothing but state-affiliated media, doing their best in this opinion article to defend the interests of the state.

I bet NPR itself has referred to her as “border czar” or at least never corrected anyone who did.

And here we have:

162 lies and distortions spewed forth from Domenico Montanaro and the other commies at NPR during their "fake news fact checks" of former President Trump.

Domenico Montanaro and the NPR commies generate their lies while in their "safe spaces".

These days, any person or group who calls themselves "Fact Checkers" are not interested in presenting the truth, but are "checking" the facts: as in the second definition of verb (used with object):

2: to restrain; hold in restraint or control.

And especially at Nazi Propaganda Radio

All the female NPR hosts sound like they’re on Prozac.

‘National Pravda Radio.’

They really need to be de-funded. Let them hold Bake Sales to stay on the air! Socialist America-Hating Losers.

Yet ANOTHER example of what YOUR TAX DOLLARS are funding! If you’re bringing home a paycheck, PLEASE adjust your W-4, accordingly! Do NOT fund this BS and do NOT give ‘Mother Government’ a year-long ‘loan’ of your money with no interest!

A ‘tax refund’ means you’re supporting stuff like this! Keep every dime you legally can OUT of Mother Government’s greedy fist!

*Steps Off Soapbox* (For now, LOL!)

National Propaganda Radio is a lie factory. Nobody with a working brain would ever listen to their lies. Anyone who does you know right away that person is an enemy of America.

They can’t be intellectually honest for a microsecond. The media are nothing but the enemy of the people. This isn’t journalism.

Chomo Joe and his whore are going gangbusters to legalize every turd world gangster so when they do murder and rampage they can say, “Ohio man.”

Just they do in Europe. “German resident stabs 8 school children yelling about snack bars. Polizei are baffled and the head of polizei said there is absolutely no connection to terrorism.”

NPR is just a dutiful servant to the Deep State/Left. The produce exactly what they are given to produce, nothing more.

NPR should be defunded or cleaned out from top to bottom.
