Anchor Jessica Dean offered a list of issues including immigration, hurricane relief, and the economy that the network said the former president was lying about.
CNN broke away from its coverage of Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally to report that the former president was telling “scores of lies.”
Anchor Jessica Dean said the GOP presidential nominee “had come on stage and said a number of things that are just not true, starting with a number of things on immigration.”
With the event continuing in the background, Dean went on to list some of the issues that CNN said Trump had lied about, including hurricane relief, the U.S. economy, and a claim that his Democratic Party opponent Kamala Harris was planning to bring back conscription.
«This rally seems aimed at the crucial bloc of swing voters who like Donald Trump but worry that maybe he’s not quite stupid and obnoxious enough. They need him and his team to squeeze out of the tube that one last plop of stupidity and obnoxiousness.”

No for the MAGA people. It is to better drive voter turnout by showcasing how horrible these people are.
they can still fact check all his lies without defaulting to airing his speeches live.
So let me get this straight. We need to platform the fascists in order to defeat the fascists?
It’s news. Would you rather everyone that doesn’t support his bullshit just blithely ignore it today in favor of being subject to it for the next four or more years?
Sometimes the news is “a shit person is saying shit things.” Turning a blind eye to it is counterproductive.
Shocking. I thought they were in the bag for this fool.
Why cant they use the big L word? Surely you can call him a liar
“…we are hearing scores of lies from the former president.”
She did.
