I am frustrated that so many TV pundits & journalists use the euphemism "mistruths"

[tblue37]

to refer to Trump's blatant lies. Even those who are liberal do this, and it drives me nuts.

1. They are normalizing lying.

Branding is everything. Changing the narrative.

They are as complicit as the liars.

2. This is very frustrating

Misspoke, mistakenly stated, erred in saying....
NO, HE F***ing LIED.

If he has the balls to attend a debate, he must be called a liar to his face every time he lies. Which will be constant.

He needs to be accused of not caring about children dying from cancer but apparently so OK to the vile act of stealing from a children's cancer charity to the degree his vile offspring have been ordered to be taught that stealing money from dying children is WRONG.

7. But when they use "mistruth" it is worse, I think, because it replaces "lies" even when

the lie is being acknowledged AS a lie.

3. The media outlets see what happens to journalists who ask real questions.

Trump has them removed from his presence.

4. Chris Matthews (I think) said one time when talking about the Impeachment trial that Justice

Roberts reprimanded the attys for unbecoming language He was talking about using the word LIES. Chris said everyone, especially the talking heads, have fallen down on this subject & he & his fellow hosts will clean up their act. I remember it because I said out loud to myself "AHAAA, THAT'S why they never used to use the work LIE when talking about a prez, member of congress, or other notable people."

I think that's why most have returned to cleaned up speech.

5. Somehow calling a liar a liar is an insult for this media

I do t get it. They do the same with Jaw Dropping, or Stunning.

Those words have no meaning anymore. They are respectively neither.

6. We are living in an era where the truth doesnt matterwe

We are in a generation of post truth
