Actually he doesn’t. He lies. Over and over. Nonetheless, newspapers and television reporters have been reluctant to use the word “lie.” I guess they think they need to show some sort of balance by tempering every criticism of Trump with a similar criticism of Clinton, and the word “lie,” even if warranted, seems so harsh.
Finally today, The New York Times ran this headline above a story about Trump and his “birther” ideas: “Trump Gives Up a Lie But Refuses to Repent.”
Let’s hope it is the start of a new trend.
