More fun thoughts

[Alan V]

Yes, I could have written that more clearly.

What I meant was: "In comparison, there's far too much fact-checking in the liberal press to give Trump such an easy pass."

Uhh..

No.

You still missed it.

Liberal press.

By definition - any press with partisan leanings is going to be biased - so while they may not spread lies - they are unlikely to tell the whole truth either.

Lies are usually easier to spot than ommissions.

The strange thing about Republicans right now is how harshly they criticize others while simultaneously putting up with so much nonsense from Trump.  He lies.  All the time.  At least left-leaning sources don't just make things up.

And by the way, we are allowed to have different opinions on the facts, just not different facts.  If Republicans were more careful to stick to the facts when making their arguments, I would listen to them more often.  But they have lost all credibility to me.  For instance, denialism of climate change science is a huge and unforgivable problem with Republicans.
