    Yeah, there is no difference from correcting an honest mistake and intentionally misrepresentation.

    If they were simply honest mistakes, there would be many examples of incorrect information in Trump's favor.

    Please provide examples when the NYT had to post corrections in which the crowd size was accidentally grossly overstated by a large multiple?

  2. I don't have time to write enough hahas for that.

    Nobody cares about Trump's crowd size now but Trump. This is true.

  3. Hahaha, did you clowns escape from the circus town? Are you really that naive, or just plain hypocrites?

    CNN did seem to care...

    And had to be corrected. I think selling MSM lies is not something people like you worry about correcting, especially if it fits your warped narrative...

    Again, you ar looking for some kind of equivalency when each incident should be looked at on its own merits.

    What is the obsession with crowd size?

    As to Trump getting any favorable coverage, this guy has divided the country in ways that may take two generations to bridge. Anyone with an objective eye can see that.

    The American story has a very dark underlying theme for many Americans and Trump is going right back to those themes of dividing people by race and concentrating power in the majority race. This is why trump supporters are cult like. His supporters will forgive anything for social wins.

    Watch these Republican congressmen push immigration in the midterms to distract white voters from the debt and corruption. They are getting you to choose your race over your country.

    The problem is as Abraham Lincoln said, “A house divided cannot stand.” Ourbstory needs to be moving toward a more perfect union or we will experience societal discord. Pushing all of these race issues may feel good when you’re in the majority but they will lead to insecurity eventually.

    Barack Obama had the biggest first term inauguration crowd ever. That’s a fact.

    Trump’s inauguration crowd was tiny like his hands.

    Only foolish Libs consider this a ‘crowd size’ question.
    It’s a fucking integrity issue.
    Fake news doesn’t have it.

    Ok. What about Fox News and Seth Rich? That’s a real journalistic integrity question.

    If misreporting a crowd by 4000 and correcting it in less than 24 hours is an integrity issue WHAT ABOUT a totally made up a fake narrative about Rich passing dnc emails to Wikileaks, insinuating he was murdered by the Clintons and retracting it after a week?
