Several more recent and credible sources (sources that us facts) say you are wrong. But go ahead and believe in fairy tales if that makes you happy.

And I seriously doubt that most Trump supporters are capable of reading a financial report and understanding what it means.

So a reporter made a bad tweet and corrected it within the hour. How is this some lie by the media?
It's a lie because what he said isn't true and he made no effort to check out the facts.

Duh.

Oh, like "Alternative Facts".

How come none of the Trump lies don't bother you Trump lovers?

Absurd. He was reporting on what his own eyes saw. He was wrong but immediately corrected his tweet once he discovered it. And it was no where published as truth in a story by the media.

He knows his history. Although "Lügenpresse" sounds better than "fake news", the tactic has worked well in the past and apparently still does.

tRump tells them how it is and what to say, and they hop to it.

Was it trump who said, 'we have to pass it to find out what is in it' and no one complained they were being treated as naieve children who could not possibly understand the legislation. Maybe in a worse case scenario she was speaking to democrat legislators who had not read nor understod the legislation they passed.


Now that is a glimpse of the dems version of a Jim Jones kool ade party.

More of the Right Wing propaganda. Pelosi was referring to the fact that there was a huge amount of negotiating going on at the last minute and it was not clear what the final version would contain. The basics were clear and known. Exact details were being negotiated.

You don't have to invent false stories to be bias. It's how or what you are presenting is where the bias comes in. For example my local paper is very liberal and after Trumps immigration order day after day they published articles that were biased against Trump and never provided one article or interview from the other side.

The NYT was giving away digital subscriptions for pennies. Of course circulation went up. But it's an unsustainable business model. Wait til they start jacking prices up. The only thing keeping the NYT solvent is Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, who loves having a mouthpiece in America to bash Trump

More Trump silliness. Slim loaned the NY Times $250 million which the NY Times paid back. Other than that Slim is simply a minority stock holder with 17% of the publicly traded stock but none of the voting stock enabling control. NY Times stock is stable and well off its lows and the place makes money.
