HYPOCRITES exposed:

Trump 'Lies,' Biden 'Slips' --
But Fact Checks Tell
Different Story


Real Clear Politics, by Kalev Leetaru

When a politician stretches the truth, did he “misspeak” or did he “lie”? The way in which fact-checkers frame the hyperbole and falsehoods that typically define the political sphere tells us a lot about the fractured state of society, but the narrative of Donald Trump as an unparalleled serial liar appears at odds with actual fact-checking verdicts. CNN summarized the partisan divide best when it argued this week that “[Joe] Biden's misspeaks, misrememberings and other gaffes are not the same as Trump's purposeful daily assaults on the truth” and that voters must distinguish between “Biden's slips” and Trump’s “cavalcade of lies.” Fact-checkers have often adopted a similar distinction in their editorialized headlines, labeling Trump’s errors as “bizarre,” “baffling,” “bungles” and “whoppers” whereas his predecessor Barack Obama’s were merely “misleading” or “cherry-picked.”
