I can’t wait until they start describing him accurately: “the convicted felon and rapist Donald Trump, who constantly lies and babbles…”

@thomholwerda Every news agency should report it like this. Instead, they not only reiterate what he says as if it's fact, they often end up sane-washing his rambling incoherent bs.
If a toddler was throwing a temper tantrum their headline would be "Toddler seeks amendments in bed time talks".

@thomholwerda it’s a very sensible comment because we know that he lies continuously and the television station have a basic obligation to the viewers not to accord to him a level of veracity that he simply lacks.
In practice, of course, it also spares them the bother of having to fact check absolutely everything he says.
Which would take forever as he is about as mendacious as they come. -

@thomholwerda @RonJeffries Now we just need to have the UK BBC do the same and lead by example. (I noticed The Guardian has started doing something similar. Some of the live update comments/asides are hilarious and tragic in equal measure)

@thomholwerda It's good as people remember things that have are often repeated.
Yes, Trump has a history of living and saying nonsense.
(But there are many, many people supporting him.) -

@thomholwerda Though I would go with "almost always" over "often". Hell, even when he speaks the truth, he lies.

Can the BBC Dutch office have a word with London? Here you would think that Trump hardly puts a foot wrong. -

@thomholwerda Good to see. It's so infuriating how many media outlets just let him spread misinformation and blatant lies without challenge.

@thomholwerda Good for them. Way too many media outlets treat Trump like any other politician, pretending that maybe some of what he says can be believed, or even makes sense.

@thomholwerda I'm waiting for DW.com to call him 'Machthaber' in stead of 'President' - which they seem to do for leaders the German Govt disapproves of!

To give this some context, the Washington Post found that Obama's false or misleading claims *across 2 terms (8 years)* was 11. Yes that's 11, as in an average of 5.5 per term as President.
If Trump's mouth is open ... he's lying.
