Funny how the media doesn't feel like they can ever use the word "lie" for drumpf (or any rethug)

It's always "says without evidence". They clearly feel it is too irresponsible or dangerous to say he is lying unless they have absolute conrete level proof it is a lie to the level of "it has been proven in a court of law". Or maybe not becuase they still will not call him a rapist despite what the courts said he did to E. Jean Carrol....

BUT...............

There's no problem at all using that word on Democrats.

Two parties. Two sets of rules. One worthless media.

She tried to warn us. She was called a lair. The American people didn't know how bad this would be. And now we are all going to suffer.

1. The Hill is owned by Nexstar Media.

Nexstar Media acquired The Hill for $130 million in August 2021. Nexstar's growing portfolio of news and digital content includes broadcast television stations, the CW network, and the NewsNation cable channel.
Nexstar Media is the company that (allegedly) suspended broadcasts of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to get Trump's approval for its $6.2 billion deal to buy Tegna.

That's why they don't call Republicans liars.

The newspeak dictionary doesn't have the word "lie" in it.

Thank you George Orwell.
