CNN's random act of journalism

[Counselor706]

During CNN’s coverage of Thursday’s presidential debate, CNN reporter Daniel Dale stated that “it’s just false for Biden to say that he never said he opposed fracking.”

Dale said, “So, in this case, Trump is correct. Biden did make anti-fracking comments during the Democratic primary in 2019 and 2020, and Trump was not lying.”

Now fact check Trump

Fact check: Trump continues dishonesty bombardment at Pennsylvania rally

Trump lied, for example, that Biden's plan would "destroy protections for pre-existing conditions." Trump is the one trying to eliminate Obamacare, including the protections the law created for people with pre-existing conditions. Biden, conversely, is running on a pledge to preserve and strengthen Obamacare, including those protections for pre-existing conditions.

Trump falsely claimed that "we added nearly 600,000 manufacturing jobs.

For the second consecutive night, Trump claimed that Mexico is paying for his border wall."And Mexico is paying for the wall, by the way. You know that. I've been saying it. They hate to hear that. But they're paying," he said.
This is simply false. The US government has paid for the wall.

FactChecking Trump’s Town Hall

• Trump was wrong when he said a recent study found “85% of the people who wear masks catch” the coronavirus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says this interpretation of its study is “incorrect.”
• The president baselessly claimed the U.S. is “rounding the corner” on the coronavirus pandemic. But cases are rising across much of the country.
• The president warned of mail-in ballot fraud, but the examples he offered were cases of mistakes, not intentional fraud.
• Trump falsely suggested restrictions his administration placed on the deferred deportation program for so-called Dreamers were due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Trump again claimed Biden would raise taxes on “everybody” when two recent estimates figure 80% would see higher after-tax incomes — in effect a tax cut.
• Trump repeatedly exaggerated his economic record, at one point inflating peak employment during his term by 7.5 million jobs.
• The president declined to disavow the conspiracy theory QAnon, saying he knows “very little” about it. We can’t say what he knows, but he has repeatedly shared Twitter posts from accounts that espouse its conspiracy theories.
• In speaking about the coronavirus pandemic, Trump inaccurately boasted that the U.S. is “a winner” on excess mortality. It’s not.
• He said: “We’ve also brought down the price of Obamacare.” Premiums on average have gone down in the past two years, but that was after a double-digit hike the year before.
• Trump argued his administration “saved 2 million people” during the COVID-19 pandemic. But that’s based on an estimate for deaths that assumes zero mitigation measures and individual behavior changes.
• The president falsely claimed Michigan was in the midst of a lockdown. The vast majority of the state’s businesses are open, as are churches and many schools.
• Trump, again, falsely said he was the “only one” who wanted to put travel restrictions on China to address COVID-19.
• Trump falsely claimed that the Obama administration had spied on his campaign. A federal investigation found no evidence of illegal spying.

It’s a reason to celebrate when President Trump is not lying. Hooray!

It'easy to tell when he is telling the truth.

His hair gets Orange.

It's a very Kerry thing for Biden to do...frankly, he should just say, "Hell, yeah, I oppose fracking." It's not as if he will be able to get it banned, alas, anytime soon. One gesture to the left, even small, would make a huge difference right now.

But so far, nope, gotta kick the left while they're down and suck up to "centrist" Republican Karens.

I'm not crying. I'm laughing at the farcical ease with which Biden gets away with less than the bare minimum in an abusive relationship between the Democratic Party and its battered partners on the left.

Yes, he'll get away with it this time, because Hillary didn't. And because the Dems gaslit the left into feeling guilty instead of admitting fault for not bringing their A game.

It's like Lucy...and Charlie, and the sick thing is that because Trump is so awful, it's hard to see an alternative to the abuser (Dems).

But don't be surprised when the Dems kick the football away again. Good grief!
