The media doesn’t always point out that his comments are lies or misleading.
This is similar
Headline choices can be easy to Monday morning quarterback, but this is a great example of how we all need to up our game – and make sure accuracy is not eclipsed by the ideal of objectivity – all typically well expressed by @AdamSerwer https://t.co/FZS61dHI7g

Or, "Republicans Insist on a Heavily Criticized Plan That, Critics Say, Rewards Corporations at the Expense of Workers, Blocking Passage of Stimulus Package; Democrats Continue to Negotiate." C'mon @nytimes. https://t.co/tSSIfxTU5c

omg these are such incredibly irresponsible headlines. Trumps views don’t “contrast” with health officials. They are outright wrong and misleading! This pathological habit of continuing to present Trumps dishonesty and ignorance as an equal counterpart to truth is so dangerous https://t.co/tkKbWjTxc2

I just don’t get what the NYT is doing. The headline adopts Trump’s pejorative conspiracy term for our independent civil service and the subhead describes a norm breaking and unlawful abuse of power as “determination.” I mean seriously what is this @deanbaquet? pic.twitter.com/htk11vcW7s

Headlines, in print and on screens, provide a snapshot of news delivered to a fractured nation. My column (with a first-time-for-me dateline of Rensselaer, NY) https://t.co/WOChwrfMKt

What Trump said isn’t accurate and instead of point that out, @AP prints his willfully incorrect statements here without context as if they’re accurate. This is irresponsible to the max. Have news organizations truly learned nothing? https://t.co/wwZA9sVOnp

I feel like “Trump Assigns Pence Coronavirus Response” or “Trump Open to Larger Supplemental,” while technically accurate, serve to mislead readers who didn’t see the tour de force of insanity that was that press conference. Journalists: It’s ok to describe things accurately.

Wow! That headline was so bad it makes my head hurt. https://t.co/zj8UCWZ3ri

These @nytimes headlines are simply nuts. The effect is to just launder bad faith right wing propaganda. pic.twitter.com/0AY7y0Redy

I’m not sure outlets should even be elevating the misinformation from Trump admin on coronavirus. What’s the value of a headline like this? We’re always criticizing outlets for posting what Trump says as a headline w/o clarification but it’s gonna be more of a prob w pandemic https://t.co/gNAGiXBI5c

If you want to know why Trump tells lies, this is why …

… sometimes if you say something untrue you can get a headline, a dek, and a two-paragraph lede repeating your lie only to have it debunked further down. pic.twitter.com/MZyb4MnuIC
Still marveling over yesterday's example of the New York Times amplifying his lying, deflection and misinformation because, you know, he's the president and all. pic.twitter.com/QAFPPcD6Tu

Folks, this is going to become a major deal. Headlines will say: "Trump questions Biden's mental fitness for presidency," totally uncritically, with zero context illustrating the deep absurdity of this.
— Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) March 6, 2020
This is made possible by the utter failure to reckon with Trump's unfitness. https://t.co/uWAmk2gG2z
Which would be unmitigated bullshit, but the @nytimes cannot help itself, so they frequently give you the President’s pov on every story.

This is not nearly enough pushback for a flatly INSANE AND WRONG Trump assertion. This is nowhere close to true! https://t.co/7qRUDwtYhB pic.twitter.com/k3DFJBvOwa
