How the MSM lies...

Here is an example of how the MSM works and why President Trump calls them dishonest.
Comey’s leaking of a memo to a friend to give to the media received the same treatment from almost all of the MSM as follows;
"… Trump is incorrect when he says that the memo contained classified information." (factcheck.org) https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/factcheck/trump-wrong-on-comey-‘leak’-mccabe-funds/ar-AAwoUz1?ocid=spartandhp
The following is from an NPR interview;
WITTES: Well, so the president controls classified information. The - almost the definition of classified information is material the president wants to protect. So if the president wants to disclose it, he gets to disclose it. And disclosures that would be a very serious crime if anyone else did them are almost certainly not if the president does them. So, you know, if the question is, is there a criminal problem here, the answer is almost certainly not.

If a President declares anything unclassified… it’s unclassified.
If a President declares anything classified… it’s classified.
If the claim is made that Comey made those notes on his own time, that is patently false since he said openly that he wrote them immediately upon leaving the meetings with President Trump and used FBI equipment to create them.

President Donald Trump claimed a memo that former FBI Director James Comey gave to a friend “in order to get a special counsel against me” was “all classified … totally classified.” That’s wrong. It was unclassified at the time and remains unclassified.
In an April 26 interview on Fox News, Trump also claimed Dr. Jill McCabe, the wife of former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, “didn’t even spend” and “kept some of” the nearly $700,000 that her 2015 state Senate campaign received from political groups affiliated with Terry McAuliffe, a longtime friend of Hillary Clinton.
In fact, campaign records show that the money was spent on campaign-related expenses and contributions.
in reading through what is stated here is true. You do know what a lie is don't you? If not, it's what you are claiming about MSM right now...

You are wrong as usual.
Like Grandpaw always told me "Don't waste your time talking to someone who won't ever listen to the t***h."
