Oh, yeah, it is really "fiction" that Trump lies more than any human on the planet. How you can ignore and defend those lies is amazing. Anyone with half a brain can see how often he lies, and they are getting bigger all the time.
What is with you people responding to posts not addressed to you?
Weird.
In any case, I was not defending anything.
Merely commenting on all the bizarre speculations of another poster that are based on nothing other than her own imagination.
A lot of you are too lazy to even open your own eyes, and you expect other people to do it for you.
I'll do one, and then I'll quit wasting my keystrokes on people that don't deserve my time....
January 20 2017: Time Magazine White House correspondent Zeke Miller incorrectly reported that the bust of Martin Luther King Jr. had been removed from the Oval Office.
mmmm - -- not exactly -- Zeke reported he did not see it......It ended up being corrected within the hour. And it was Zeke who sought out the correction/facts.
Zeke was in the Oval Office on Friday night as part of the press pool on hand to document one of President Trump’s first official acts. He wrote a brief report, naming the aides who were there and noting that a bust of Winston Churchill was present in a new spot. Asked by other reporters about the bust of Martin Luther King, Jr., Zeke said he had looked for it and not seen it. As a result, a pool report by another reporter sent out at 7:31 p.m., based partly on Zeke’s observations, included this: “More decorating details: Apart from the return of the Churchill bust, the MLK bust was no longer on display.”
“I should not have allowed unconfirmed information to end up in a pool report,” Zeke says. Within minutes, when inquiries began to come in about the missing bust, Zeke reviewed videos and wire photos, and tried to find a member of the White House staff who could answer whether the bust had been moved. He found an aide who went into the office to check and texted Zeke at 8:10 p.m. that the bust was there.

correct, miller had tweeted that the bust had been removed but tweeted a correction immediately ( 53 minutes ) after finding out he was mistaken.

a corrected error, not a lie.
False reporting is a lie, and it was a huge story at the time, so you understate those 53 minutes.
Its plain slander.
It was the most talked about event that day, in my circle.
You misunderstood, I wasn't referring to the number of minutes being understated, I was referring to the impact of those 53 minutes.
You understate those 53 minutes, because you think 53 minutes isn't long enough to reach audiences everywhere.
As if apologizing 53 minutes later makes it ok....
I've never heard anybody talk about the apology/retraction in casual conversation, they only talk about the original story.
then try a websearch for "zeke miller mlk bust". all the top links directly discuss the retraction.
I saw Miller's retraction early last year when it happened, because I follow Trump's world very closely, and the scum who write about him.
But most people don't follow it closely, and that is what I was referring to when I said "casual conversation"-
