The New York Times Uses the "L" Word
By the "L" word, I mean that the Times is calling Donald Trump a liar, and they are actually using that word:
America has just lived through another presidential campaign week dominated by Donald Trump’s racist lies. Here’s a partial list of false statements: The United States is about to take in 250,000 Syrian refugees; African-Americans are responsible for most white homicides; and during the 9/11 attacks, “thousands and thousands” of people in an unnamed “Arab” community in New Jersey “were cheering as that building was coming down.”It's nice that they are calling a lie a lie, but there are a lot of other cases where the word, "lie"is completely justified.
In the Republican field, Mr. Trump has distinguished himself as fastest to dive to the bottom. If it’s a lie too vile to utter aloud, count on Mr. Trump to say it, often. It wins him airtime, and retweets through the roof.
It be a real public service if they were to call other liars out in no uncertain terms.
