Yesterday, on twitter, they each tried to correct the record when Mjango Unchained lied on Camera saying Democratic Congresswomen (we all know who he meant) had called America garbage and used the phrase ‘evil Jews.”
In case you didn’t see this disgrace — (lower video):
Here's Trump falsely accusing 4 congresswomen of color of talking about "evil Jews"
"They can't talk about 'evil Jews,' which is what they say. 'Evil Jews'"
As @ddale8 notes Ilhan Omar once tweeted about Israel's "evil doings" but none of them said what Trump attributed to them pic.twitter.com/JylqZhXD7H

Brian’s reaction:
It's wildly irresponsible of cable nets to just carry raw footage of Trump rambling slander for 20 minutes, even if they try valiantly afterward to correct the lies. He wants to inject lies into the discourse, but there's no reason to do it for him. https://t.co/9OLMp92RjR

I mean, what the fuck are you doing?!

Nothing surprises, but it's a fucking outrage that journalism orgs have glossed over the fact that the president falsely accused four congresswomen of using the term "evil Jews," reaired his slanders uncorrected, and intend to keep broadcasting raw footage of his calumnies.

It is indeed newsworthy that Trump expressed these specific, depraved slanders, but only because people should know he did something evil and unhinged. Broadcasting him without that gloss is just participating in the most dangerous, immoral kind of incitement.

Obviously everything the president says publicly should be recorded, but it has never been normal practice to broadcast all of the president's words unfiltered, or even with post facto corrections, and that standard is even more important when he's a dangerous sociopath.

Thank you, Brian.
Last night I reacted viscerally to this outrage and posted this calling for the liar to be de-platformed by the networks.
Many called me out for being unrealistic, and maybe I was.
Brian has a better solution.
The Networks must stop broadcasting raw footage of this idiot’s lies and agitprop on live TV and only post video after it has been vetted and the proper disclaimers are put in place.
I have already sent emails to MSNBC, CNN and Fox News calling for them to adopt this policy.
I request that you all do so also.

Why do I see an NRA ad at the top of this page?
Choose your sponsors wisely.
I took their “survey”. I doubt they’ll like my responses.
Ads are placed by an agency that has a contract for so many per site.
Understood, but the site owner should have a say in the ads placed. If a Planned Parenthood banner ad appeared on Hobby Lobby’s site, how long do you think it would stay?
I’m more outraged that Omar called some neo-Nazis “very fine people.” That’s dangerous bigotry that has no place in …. oh wait ….
