Cool, now do Trump. I want to see a comparison of how many times Trump has lied or misled followers to the number of times the Harris campaign has done this. I think if the numbers are 1:1 we can all agree it's intentional. What if the numbers are 5:1? 10:1? At what ratio do we agree that mistakes were made by overzealous campaign staff? Without comparison numbers, this article is meaningless.

This is such a ridiculous deflection. Trump lying enough would make it the more plausible interpretation that whatever Kamala said that was blatantly false was actually a string of accidents? On what basis? Someone lying more does not mean that someone else who says fewer falsehoods is less likely to be a liar. It's just an excuse to say "But Trump!" like voteblues always do whenever someone questions their team.
That or the wring their hands about how "It's tough but we need to support them anyway"
Thing is that everybody knows Trump is full of shit, and frankly none of his supporters care. Meanwhile, democrats are the ones who pretend to care about facts. Yet, here we see clear as day that they're just as morally bankrupt as Trump in practice, and so is anybody who continues to carry water for them.
My point is that Trump lies so often that it's easy to forget to actually check on what you're reporting. Like the first piece reported in that article... Yeah if someone sent you just that clip and you see him referring to the wrong State, you might just accept that and post it without looking at the rest of the rally and realizing he was referring to something else. It's easy to forget that Trump isn't always full of shit.
That's a pretty absurd rationalization. The whole point of claiming to care about facts is that you hold yourself to a higher standard instead of just going on feels. Meanwhile, the article makes it clear that it's not just one oopsie, but a systemic pattern of lying on the part of Harris campaign.
I'm really glad liberals are done respecting journalism. Now they get to be the ones seething at the lying fake news media.
Unrelated but did Harris accept zombie Reagan's endorsement yet?
Reagan would probably find her to right wing
I'm really beginning to wonder if the whole point of giving tfg so much media coverage over so nonsense is to distract from the lack of meaningful policy of the other party and make the rightward march more palatable, because if it is, it's working.
