...I'm not going to post it here, or the link, because I think the content pushes too far against the line for the DU terms of service.
The gist is that the Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg and Trump both can't be "right."
The Washington Post has documented over 20,000 Trump lies. Fact checked 'em, and yessiree bob, that boy LIED.
And Cillizza decided that he had to play devil's advocate.
The story has been signed off as accurate by AP, WaPo, and Fox News.
And it will take you all of 30 seconds to find a YouTube clip of Trump calling McCain a "loser."
Then again, CNN always leaves a place at the table for Rick Santorum, so why am I surprised by this?

(7,447 posts)"So, we're left with this dilemma: Goldberg insists the story is true. Trump insists the story is false. Both of those views can't be right.
Now, I am not in a position to litigate who is right here. And CNN has not independently verified The Atlantic's reporting. But Trump's insistence that he would never say anything disparaging about a military veteran or the military more generally is belied by, well, facts."
I mean, I have no problem with that paragraph.
Makes it clear who he thinks is lying based on documented lies

(10,014 posts)You didnt get it when he sarcastically posed the dilemma of which to believe - a multiple sources article from several legit news sources or the known liar who occupies the White House?

(4,553 posts)Wrote the crappy piece about Nancy and her haircut, I am glad he is redeeming himself a bit with this one.
But, overall, I dont really like Chris. Just a trouble maker to keep himself in the moment.
