How is this for some perspective Politicians and lies: How the media forgot the difference between opinion and fact
Legal Insurrection dot com? I'm not even going to dignify that by taking the link. If there are any germane points there, copy and paste them here.
OK would not his compensation be an objective fact?
It would be if he produced some documentation showing that is was a fact. Until he produces some it's merely a claim. And as I noted, his claims about making $212 million from The Apprentice are not something as objectively obvious as it being a sunny day. Also Laurence O'Donnell editorializing is hardly "The Media" saying he's lying in this case.
Was he accused of a lie when he was misquoted in fact and there was no basis for saying that he lied?
I have no idea what you're referring to here. Is this about the Mexicans are rapists quip? Because he actually did say, “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
Newsmax can try and spin that to mean he only was referring to illegal immigrants, but there's nothing in the context of his speech that points to that being the case. And no one is saying he claimed that all Mexicans are rapists.
