Lie by omission [View all]

I live in Spokane Washington. We have three local T.V stations. On the local news all three do the same thing. They show a clip by Trump that is a provable lie. They do not say that after checking his statement is not true. Instead they show it and move on thus lying by omission. If you turn on the am radio every other station has RUSH LIMBAUGH OR SEAN HANNITY or some other HATE jock. It's no wonder the average citizen that does not visit sites like this or employ critical thinking are so brainwashed into believing lies. Is it only here or is it that way where you live?
