I continue to find it odd that in this day and age, with all the information at our fingertips, someone can lie on one TV channel and someone will believe it without even so much as a quick Google to fact check.
In response to the tsunami of propaganda and falsehoods on the Internet, some people decide they simply won’t care about facts anymore because it’s easier.
Not only that, but the fact Twitter has a better mechanism for this with community notes than most media.
How the F- do these media companies air a snippet of him lying without immediately following it up with the facts. The fact that his lies are not even news anymore just saddens me to no end. And it emboldens other psychopaths around the world.
Tbf Google's AI will hallucinate and out and out lie to you depending on what question you ask it, so maybe it isn't the best source. I agree it amazes me that people can lie like this and not be checked for questioned... And Google use to be the best way to check. Unfortunately it isn't any more. And various news sites have their own agenda and won't always tell you the truth either. Unfortunately I dont know of any source you can quickly check and get a definitive and unequivocal answer any more and I think people like trump understand and exploit this.
It's true that Google is now a pile of shit for targeted searching of a topic, but if you just searched for any claim like "biden convicted documents" I'm sure you would at least not get a list of articles confirming the lie.
EDIT: I just searched the above and it's just a long list of "biden won't face charges", "no charges for biden" and even some "trump falsely claims biden was convicted" already
To think that, just a couple of weeks ago, he was so confident about cruising to a victory on his newest gimmicks: "unity" and "sanity". Now he's starting to panic, his true self is back, and his ability to control his derangement and worst instincts will only get worse. Love to see it.
He can’t help but be an authoritarian bullshitter. They keep trying to put lipstick on the pig but it only lasts a moment before it goes and rolls in shit again.
I feel like this would be slander, wouldn't it? Not that I feel like Biden would file suit because he'd feel it's beneath him, but maybe he ought to try just once. No one should let Trump get away with a single lie he can be held accountable for.
Even if he lost, it would be worth it to hear a judge say no reasonable person would believe a fucking thing that comes out of Trump's mouth.
