Rookie numbers. During his last term, he got to 30,573 blatant lies or misleading claims. I expect that his reports should reach at least a 100 lies per page.
It’s good to track the misinformation, but the people that need to understand this don’t care. Even as their houses are flooded, burned down, etc., they won’t care. To them, facts and science are the enemy, the only thing that matters is their fabrication of reality in their head.
This is not at all surprising, and anyone with half a brain cell would know not to trust these reports but I appreciate these reporters for taking the time to document this for the record.
It will not change the administration’s actions, but it provides a consistent and reputable source of debunking when that one uncle starts spewing horse shit on Facebook.
This is my thought as well. A detailed, fact-checked, authoritative source showing how and why the report is inaccurate.
Granted, most people don’t care about facts when they conflict with their own worldview and opinions, but it’s important to continue to provide them.
Wasn’t there a website that kept track of all the lies the obese shitgibbon told during his last term as ‘president’? I wonder if it is still going…
Edit:
It wasn’t a dedicated website, it was the fact checkers at the washington post

Over 30,000 lies. Or 21 fact checkable lies per day.Look, I get that big billion-dollar corporate news sewers are afraid to say “lie”, but c’mon carbonbrief.org!
