Originally posted by rogue06 View PostAnd how the mighty have fallen. The Times used to have only about one major retraction "scandal" a year which is pretty good for a newspaper but since Trump that rate is now more like once a month. The latest that I can immediately recall was having to correct not one, or even two misquotes of Trump, but five wrt what he said about Charlottesville.
It must be hard keeping track of Trump quotes given his compulsive lying:
"Many Americans have become accustomed to President Trump’s lies. But as regular as they have become, the country should not allow itself to become numb to them. So we have catalogued nearly every outright lie he has told publicly since taking the oath of office. Updated July 21: The president is still lying, so we've added to this list, and provided links to the facts in each case".

Originally posted by Sparko View Postif they had enough evidence they would charge him. No need to continue the investigation other than to add more charges.
Whether they have a lot of evidence or haven't found any real evidence, there's little reason to jump the gun on bringing charges. I think the main reason to want to charge someone early is if you're worried they might run off in the meantime and you'd be unable to take them into custody as a result, which seems kinda unlikely in this case.

Yes, that really proves how unbiased they are, calling figures of speech, generalizations and out of context words, "lies" and then keeping a running total of them. Yep, very unbiased and professional.“He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.” - Douglas Adams.

Originally posted by Tassman View PostSo Trump's birtherism, which he promoted for years, was just a "figure of speech", "out of context words" and a "generalisation". Gotcha!
“A reporter for Time magazine — and I have been on their cover 14 or 15 times. I think we have the all-time record in the history of Time magazine.” (Trump was on the cover 11 times and Nixon appeared 55 times.)
“You had millions of people that now aren't insured anymore.” (The real number is less than 1 million, according to the Urban Institute.)
“The coverage about me in the @nytimes and the @washingtonpost has been so false and angry that the Times actually apologized to its dwindling subscribers and readers.” (It never apologized.)

Others are called lies because they have no evidence. That doesn't make it a lie! It is unconfirmed.
Others are nitpicking about numbers.
The list is a contrivance and a joke.
