The Clinton campaign is using Matt Lauer’s refusal to fact check Donald Trump to raise money that will be used to get Hillary Clinton elected president.
The Clinton fundraising email takes aim at Matt Lauer’s refusal to fact check Trump:
Last night, during the Commander-in-Chief Forum on live national television, Donald Trump kicked off his evening by lying to the American people about his position on the Iraq War — and no one stopped to call him on it.
Not only did the moderator, Matt Lauer, fail to fact-check Trump — he then kept the conversation moving.
The worst part is, there’s nothing new about this happening. We all know that Trump lies a lot. And we all know that many outlets in the press apparently lack the wherewithal to call him out — and help voters understand that what they’re hearing from Trump isn’t just normal political talk, but an unprecedented descent into unqualified nonsense from a major-party presidential nominee.
At this point, we should understand that we just can’t sit around and wait for fact checkers in the media to keep Trump honest.
We have to step up and do it ourselves. No one will do it for us. And the outcome of the election could hang in the balance.
Everything in the Clinton fundraising email was correct. Matt Lauer let Trump tell at least eight lies during the thirty-minute segment. Lauer acted like follow up questions were off limits for Trump, and the forum host did zero fact checking of the Republican nominee.
Democrats need to understand that the media isn’t going to fact check Trump. The press isn’t going to be fair in this election. Donald Trump is being graded on a lower standard than Hillary Clinton. The press is giving Trump a free pass.
If Democrats are going to win this election, they will have to overcome the free ride that Trump gets from the media.
Matt Lauer tried to pull a hit job on Hillary Clinton at the commander in chief forum, but Clinton is getting her revenge one small individual donation at a time.
As Matt Lauer’s male privilege fueled performance demonstrated, is up to Clinton supporters to defeat the male dominated media misogyny machine.
