The conservative
Facebook page, U.S.
Constitution, and constitution.com,
have the audacity to claim Trump did not mock a disabled reporter and he was
being truthful when he said thousands of people were watching and cheering when
the towers came down on 9/11.
Seventy-six percent of Trump’s statements have been false according to PoliticalFact.com. Yet, all of his supporters have believed every one of them.
One criticism heard often is the left leaning media is corrupt. You can never get a true story watching the news.
Of course that’s true if your only source of news is Fox, The Blaze, Breitbart, Town Hall Magazine, Red State, or the many other websites and publications that depend on put-down, and on inflammatory and hyperbolic language to arouse their audiences and readers because its more lucrative. However, it only spreads untruths and misinformation, which sow seeds of distrust and hate.
When you acquire sufficient facts, only then can you determine whether a story is true. Determining what is factual depends on what you watch, to whom you listen, what, and of whom you read from a variety of credible sources. No one should make judgements on one news report or on one writer. If what presented is sincere, and presented in precise, comprehensive, and appropriate language, its veracity can be determined. If a majority of the reporting contains the same basic facts, you can probably conclude a story to be true. It’s easy to do if you are conscientious and honest in finding the truth
