Nothing is less credible than media like the AP.

I think only a fool takes them seriously.

How many fact checkers did the AP put on HRC's memoir?

O God in heaven ... there are many sources that are as, if not more, with
credibility problems (and I count liberal leaning) than AP.

You completely deflect the issue! It's not about the AP. It is, however,
about the checked facts and what those show.

It's not a pretty picture for *DDT.

Deranged Donald Trump

Those who dismiss without investigation are to be
are vastly less credible and, therefore, even greater
fools.

Again: nothing be deflection going on here.

It is NOT about the AP. It's about Trump's speech. That is the topic.

Hillary is already the most fact checked major pol in history.

This is nothing more than self-delusional behavior.

(Of course Hillary's should be checked. But Hillary is not the point of this
forum.

AP screws up the very first item, so I didn't even bother to read the rest.

Trump said that the Obama administration was rolling back law ENFORCEMENT, not spending, and said that violent crime had increased dramatically in the past year. The first part of that can be debated, but I'm assuming that Trump is talking about the lawlessness that the Obama administration has encouraged with Black Lives Matter and such, as well as with criminal illegal aliens. In the second part, ABC is just denying the facts with a "yeah, but". Everyone knows that violent crime has been decreasing for the past 25 years, thanks to law enforcement efforts that the GOP initiated. But, thanks to Obama's weak leadership, it is showing the first significant increase in 25 years. Why couldn't ABC just admit that Trump was (at least partly, if not mostly or completely) right? Because they are in the tank for Clinton, of course. They could have even thrown in a "However, it should be noted that spending has increased under Obama". Of course, money spent on administering increased paperwork demands isn't really an improvement.

Actually, I glanced over the list quickly just now. It's almost humorous that ABC finds a "yeah, but" for the things that Trump is clearly right about, but then just dismisses his claim outright when it's obvious that he merely stated the claim in a slightly incorrect fashion. A couple of examples: Trump says officer deaths are up almost 50% this year. Trump obviously meant "killings" (as opposed to vehicular deaths and such), but ABC just says he's wrong because he didn't state it that way. Trump says U.S. has some of the highest taxes, ABC says, "nuh uh". Trump is talking about taxes on businesses, which drives them overseas, something he has said repeatedly.

ABC is totally full of it. Which Clintonistas prepared this report?
