NY Times says Trump is "lying"

[Breccia]

Yes, Trump is the only truth... everyone else is lying...

Plus, I linked the Breitbart story. That kinda shut him up.

I was just trying to make his head explode with a paradox...

It never works...

[Cthulhu 2020]

Trump is a liar. Water is wet. We breath air to survive. MMO Champion posters are the pinnacle of political discourse.

Ok that last one was fake.

One look at the NYT and at their newspaper headlines says it all. The NYT took an activist role in trying to get Hillary elected. They have zero credibility.

The end.

By this logic, every pundit that was pro-Trump has zero credibility as well. Oopsie, guess your own bad logic backfired.

i think its news worthy when he actually tells the truth

That would be a day when pigs fucking fly and Hell on Earth actually happens.

A lot of you are just here because it's cool to rip on the president.

It's also really easy. All you need to do is quote him verbatim.

Now now, let's calm down. You don't need to quote Trump verbatim.

You can quote his press secretary verbatim!

"n9y25ah7"
-- Sean Spicer, Jan 25

"Aqenbpuu"
-- Sean Spicer, Jan 26

That's right, twice since taking his position, Sean Spicer tweeted a length of nonsense letters and numbers that look a lot like a password.

And the internet never forgets. Go ahead and type "aqen" in your Google search bar. See what it autocompletes.

It's ok, the Trump administration is just trying to summon Cthulhu.

The funniest thing is Bannon asked for this NYTimes interview. To tell them how useless they are. Or something.

Bannon has no room to talk since he was an executive at Breitbart.

Trump’s order for “major investigation” into voter fraud is based on misquoted ODU research

Richman, an associate professor at Old Dominion University, found his work tangled up in Trump’s latest effort to support his unsubstantiated claim that millions of illegal ballots were cast in November – the reason Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by nearly 3 million.

Trump announced Wednesday that he’s ordering a “major investigation” into voter fraud – a claim he first made on the campaign trail, then repeated this week at a meeting with Republican leaders.

Richman heard his research – or some twist on it – being cited by White House press secretary Sean Spicer as he defended Trump’s “long-standing belief” to a room full of reporters Tuesday:

“I think there have been studies; there was one that came out of Pew in 2008 that showed 14 percent of people who have voted were not citizens.”

Spicer got it all wrong, according to Richman.

“First of all, he’s confusing our study with another study,” Richman said, “and then he’s flipping ours around and exaggerating the most extreme estimates from it.”

The Pew Charitable Trusts did release a study in 2012 that indicated 1.8 million deceased voters remain on the rolls and millions of other voter records are out of date. But the study did not say anything about voter fraud.

The 14 percent cited by Spicer appears to have come from research Richman and ODU co-authors published in 2014, an analysis titled “Do non-citizens vote in U.S elections?“

Using data from the Cooperative Congressional Election Study, which interviews tens of thousands of people every election year, the ODU study concluded that, at most, “maybe 14 percent of non-citizens engaged in some type of voting behavior,” Richman said.

Repeat: That’s not 14 percent of all voters. That’s 14 percent of all non-citizens.

“And keep in mind that non-citizens are a fraction of the total U.S. population,” Richman said, around 20 million adults. “So they maybe make up, at the very, very high end, 1 percent of an electorate.”

Even if every one of them voted for Clinton, would that have been enough to cost Trump the popular vote?

“The answer is no,” Richman said.

Doesn't matter. We've entered an era of bullshit, so you can throw reality at people all you want and it will fly right past them.

It's pretty ironic that conservatives spend all day bashing NYT and WaPo for being biased fake news, but when they want to give their upstart wingnut rag a credible sounding name to trick people into thinking it's a legit source, they go with "Washington Times" and hope that the readers are too stupid to notice that all the articles are nothing but partisan spin and misdirection.

You have to link the alternative facts for credibility.

Worse the study is based on Polls

Based on national polling by a consortium of universities,

so they ask people ''did you vote and are you a citizen or not'' and based on that this guy came up with X numbers that says CLinton could have gotten X number of votes.

So it's based around assumption and build up with further assumptions.

If voter fraud was real don't you think that republicans would have gotten something at this point?

It doesn't matter, they are only prepared to hear one answer. And they'll keep at it until they find it.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Ye, fuck freedom of the press.
