It details how in a lot of cases....wait for it..........the Media twists the facts..........
Depending on how statistics are used,for which group and where geographically.......it is True that crime IS higher than ever before..........
You are twisting what Trump said - he specifically said "the violent crime is the highest it's been in 45/47 years". It is not.
The uptick in crime is perhaps the right statistic that he "meant" (although he has misspoke on this on MANY occasions, through his campaign and into his presidency)...but it is NOT what he said.
The reason this distinction is important is because one makes completely different policy decisions when presented with those two facts.
1) "Violent crime is the highest it's been in 45 years" - HOLY CRAP! Time to go into lock down mode - militaristic style policing methods might need to be considered, perhaps.
2) "The violent crime increase is the highest it's been in 45 years" - OK - that is concerning. We should keep an eye on this. Perhaps we should look at our policing practices and maybe we should understand why it's going up. But context is important here - we are still WAY below where we were 45 years ago, and we're even well below where we were even a few years ago.
Additionally, "percentage increases" can be inflated when you're at the lower end of the scale (i.e. a change from 1 to 2 is a 100% increase!...whereas a change from 10 to 15 is a 50% increase...which one of those should be more worried about?)...
So one should be really careful to use that metric as the be-all-end-all data point to set policing policy.
I'll be glad to list his lies but I'd need to get a transcript first. Too many to keep up with.
In other words, you have nothing.

He did win.
Maybe someday you anti-Trumps will accept that painful (for you) fact.

Exactly.
It was hilarious when Nancita Botox said that Trump was really Bush, and Maxine Fright Mask said that Crimea was Korea.
OK - then go through each of those and point out how their analysis was wrong. If you want to call it "fake" or whatever - the onus is on you to prove how.
Just pick a couple of examples and show us all why their analysis is so flawed.
I'll also happily see other fact checkers that you claim are more reputable.
I also don't claim that these aren't "bias-free" - but they're just meant as general snapshots of what was said. And Trump fares VERY poorly compared to basically anyone else from any other party or position in government. His record is frankly disturbingly bad.

Did you read my link? Its quite comical in this context that they were criticizing the Media for doing that "selective" thing with the figures.........

I read it (I happened to have actually read it a few years ago when it was originally on NPR) - and they're referring to how bias can influence the calls of what they're reporting on. And I don't think they're wrong.
That said, one can specifically look at each claim and assess it for accuracy - go ahead and try it. Show how biased and wrong they are! Let's see you challenge them.
And I'll happily see any other fact check sources that you may have that contradict other ones that you dispute. Like I said, I'm open minded.
Yeah Trump is doing what he promised when he ran. Deal with the border and illegal immigration. That's why I voted for him and he has a 55 - 45 approval rating. Daily Presidential Tracking Poll - Rasmussen Reports™
Rasmussen is not an independent poll...It leans heavily to the right...
The latest Pew Research Center poll released Thursday shows Trump at a historic low compared with prior presidents in their first weeks in office.
The poll found just 39 percent approve of his job performance while 56 percent disapprove.
