I so hope this is available somewhere I can download it. 100 seems like a small number to use. How long would it be if it were everything?
Well, he told over 30,000 verifiable lies just during his first term, sooooooo......
First term, I think the Washington Post stopped counting at 10,000.
Wait, these 100 lies aren't just 1 days worth?
Really hope the average Briton is better educated than the average American.
I have some bad news for you there.
Don't hold your breath. Remember Brexit?
As a Brit:
Hahaha hahahaha...
Oh wait, you're serious?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
No they’re not. We have people hanging flags everywhere with racist undertones and I’ve now seen America flags in my town. Like America is a bastion of what we want to become ffs.
I don’t want to say the average person is stupid but they’re easy to lie to and get on side apparently.
Have you seen the anti immigration protests recently? There is a reason the British are called the Americans of Europe.
They must've had to rotate through editors like the cleanup workers at Chernobyl.
I want a version edited like Pop-Up Video (or whatever it was called) from VH1
Yes! But they'd have to pause the video to pop up the multi-level rebuttals:
Trump: Mexican people are evil terrible lazy criminals
Pop immigrants are usually the most law-abiding group in America
Pop immigrants are usually the hardest workers, adaptable and versatile. They usually work jobs that go unfilled without them
Pop Latin Americans have a rich culture and history, and happily celebrate with vibrant colour and intricate dance and song
Pop people of Mexico enjoy less crime on average than Americans
Etc
Like, there's only so much time!
Is untruth even a word? What happened to falsehood? Sounds way better ... Untruth sounds made up
There is a difference between falsehood and untruths. If you give a partial answer it can be "not false" and also fail to be truth. Suppose he is asked about the economy and he says some sector is doing good but doesn't mention the ones doing bad, is he lying? You get false information even though what he says is true.
Fox News is great at the lie-by-omission thing. In fact, they rarely tell a bald-faced lie.
Remember the Snowden revelations? When that was going down, I was trapped in a house for a week where the people had Fox on 24/7. I mean that literally. They'd smoke weed and fall asleep in their recliners. Headline news, worldwide, and I did not hear a single word from Fox. Not one mention. Which I still haven't figured out as they could have nailed Obama to the wall.
I've been partial to calling it lying or deceptively engaging in bad faith to prevent people from being able to make well informed choices taking away their agency and ability to accomplish personal and community goals unimpeded.
Unnews. Unfacts. This is unfun.
Whatever happened to rapid liar?
Since he's physically and psychologically painful to behold anyway, every clip should just be fullscreen plastered with the plethora of cited sources debunking his every word.
They literally included Channel 4's Tweet saying it starts at 10pm... and still somehow got the time wrong.
Sept 18. Trump to sue Channel 4
(Hopefully Obvious Disclaimer: No, I'm not saying that Channel 4 is spreading disinfo. Yes, this is about trump lying all the time.)
Why not call it lies again? Why all this careful maneuvering around calling them out? Why always so gentle? They call for people's death ffs.
It really depends what the individual clips are. They could be lies, mistruths, falsehoods, distortion. All are slightly different, usually to do with intent.
Who the fuck cares what exactly it would be called in a 100 % logical, purely neutral setting? These assholes need to be called out EVERY SINGLE TIME, right away, without fumbling around what it should be called!
While I agree wholeheartedly, the show hasn't been broadcasted yet. You don't yet know what you're calling out.
That is a direct quote from the channel’s chief content officer Ian Katz. So before it even started they already soften the blow. How likely is it that they now started doing that but did not do it for the collection of bullshit prior, when they created it? I doubt it.
This is exactly the same as calling it "immigration crackdown", absolutely disgusting.
