  1. The examples of media lies on Trump are endless but one I see on a regular basis is using quotes out of context. It's a tactic of CNN and MSNBC on an almost daily basis. For example, Trump can talk for 30 minutes in a press conference and answer questions for 15 minutes, covering a wide range of topics. But CNN and MSNBC will cherry-pick one sentence or action (i.e. an interaction with a reporter) and THAT becomes the spin. Another recent example of this tactic was egregious. Media throughout the country reported that Trump said George Floyd was "looking down and smiling" at the job numbers. Needless to say, people freaked. It was a lie. The context of Trump's "looking down" comment was the actions being taken in the country on police reform and other actions. And let's remember that withing the last few months CNN on-air staff said Trump called white supremacists "fine people" and called all Mexicans "rapists and drug dealers". Both are lies.
