Why won’t interviewers just say that’s a lie? You are lying.

They’re afraid they won’t come back on their shows. To which I say good! Who needs to hear these lying sacks of shit lie every Sunday?

I came to say this. The mainstream media is just as corrupt and manipulative as trump. You can not count on them to give a fair and accurate account of the news. By not pushing back and calling out the lies, the interviewer lost all credibility and gave weight to what Scott was saying. The absolute opposite of what should have happened here. If you think it’s not by design, it is.

Did he call Scott out in real time? During the interview? When it mattered most? JW

Eileen Henderson's avatar

yes, but Tapper didn’t call him on all those lies as Scott was saying them! I think Tapper knew that if he didn’t tiptoe around things that he would end up in a midnight slot like they tried to do to Jim Acosta, at which point Acosta took the high road and got the hell out of there!! Legacy media really stinks.

It’s not that it’s just corrupt, it’s who it’s been corrupted by. Very quietly, right after Biden won, conservatives started buying up legacy media outlets and newspapers. They literally run the all right now. That’s why you are seeing this kind of crap. When you look at what happened over at MSNBC, they got rid of nearly all of the black and minority journalists to shift back towards the center trying to regain their center right and center left audience. So far, the response from their audience has bento move towards independent media because they are sophisticated enough to see through this crap.

Dear Kasey, I beg to disagree when someone simply parrots the trump party's talking points. But, I'm willing to assume you scanned without reading what Mr. Tapper actually said. President Biden will be remembered for bringing the country back from the brink of the trump disaster as did President Obama did after his predecessor.

But did Tapper call

Him on his lies in real time during the interview when it matters most? When people are watching? Not afterwards when people are tuned out? I watched the interview. Tapper gave no push back. No correcting of lies. Did I miss that part? I will watch it again to verify.

I think he pleaded the 5th 75 or more times in his deposition. And yet the voters of Florida elected him governor twice and now senator. Stupid racist assholes!

And the RNC put him in charge of the piggyback. Isn't something like $80 million unaccounted in that piggyback? So if a poor SS beneficiary gets over paid by $80 because SS made a mistake, it's THEIR fault and they have to pay.

We didn’t ALL vote for him. I voted against him in every election he’s ever run in. And now I call his office almost every damn day to express my outrage at what he and the GOP are doing. Doubt it will do much good, but I refuse to remain silent while that slimy fraudster keeps supporting the lies and the grift in the current administration.

The Biden administration added more jobs each month than any other president in history and created more manufacturing jobs as well! Why do the interviewers not point out the real facts….the best economy in the world…the lowest inflation rate since Covid! He is as complicit with allowing him to lie and get away with it!

Rick Scott, the latest Medicare fraudster in our history, stealing millions of our tax dollars- seems to be lying through his perverted trump lenses.

Please when writing these articles- start with the facts, then the lies, and then why no reporter cdll the BS out!

Trump folks won’t read your the end. Many won’t read your the end. Facts first please. “Rick Scott lied but first, here are the facts so the lies are clear”.

The lies need to be shut down before they are said. Correcting them afterwards doesn’t work. They make their point without being truthful. Scott could have blamed Obama and it would have stuck.

You cannot let the lie be said. It becomes an alternative fact.

It seems like Jake Tapper could be prepared to call out Rick Scott’s lies. But Jake and the media are just plain lazy. It’s easier to let the trumpers lie than come to the table with facts and truth and call out the lying liars and to their faces and not let them obfuscate the truth.
