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.

The purpose of this article is to generate the headline that the Dems can use in their ads and propaganda. The low info voters will simply see the headline and assume it is true.

NPR is a bag full of liars that the government pays with our money to lie for them. I don’t know anyone that listens to them anymore.

NPR is like a giant Cheech and Chong “Bomber” joint. Who’s the weird freak who cleared NPR fart checkers to check anybody? Fart Checkers are supposed to be unbiased. NPR doesn’t have anybody like that.

“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.”

That’s because as I understand it, many cities have stopped reporting their crime statistics to the FBI (I’m not sure, but I think it’s like a third of police departments or cities across the country?). This includes big cities like New York and Los Angeles. Crime hasn’t gone down. Reporting crime statistics to the FBI has gone down.

Don’t worry. In seven years they’ll admit Trump was right
in each instance.

1984 Two Minute Hate
In the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell, the Two Minutes Hate is the daily period during which members of the Outer and Inner Party of Oceania must watch a film depicting Emmanuel Goldstein, the principal enemy of the state, and his followers, the Brotherhood, and loudly voice their hatred for the enemy and then their love for Big Brother

I guess NPR forgot that COVID literally shut the US down for over two years while Trump straightened out the mess Obama made of the economy.

This Sunday morning I watched Fox News’ Media Buzz with Howard Kurtz. They had Democrat Strategist, Tim Hogan reacting to Kamala’s lack of access to the media. Hogan said that Trump’s long press conference last week was filled with lies; implying that the press’ access to Trump had no value if it was misinformation. Why did Kurtz let Hogan get away with that statement? Where is good journalism?

This ought to be enough to stop public funding of NPR forever.
