Geee Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Washington Examiner If you think the news industry’s credibility problem is bad now, you haven’t seen anything yet. It is going to get much, much worse the closer we get to Election Day, if Tuesday’s slipshod news reporting and commentary is any indication. The New York Times’s Maggie Haberman, for example, tweeted the following falsehood at around 5:30 p.m. Monday evening: “Republican voter registration in NH is down roughly 20k voters from 2016 to now. It’s a reminder that Trump’s increased GOP popularity is in part because in some places, the GOP registration rolls have shrunk.” This is not only false, but it has been debunked several times. At some point, repeating the lie becomes a choice. Earlier than that, MSNBC’s Katy Tur, who hosts a politics news show, sought to throw cold water on the strong economic numbers touted by the Trump White House, arguing that the economy is not working for the individual who spends up to 360 months paying off his car loan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
