Claims of collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and agents of the Russian government remain disputed. The June 9, 2016 meeting at Trump Tower is an established occurrence. It is also true that both Donald Trump and Trump Jr. lied about what was discussed at this meeting as well as who was in attendance. By itself, the meeting and those lies justified the investigations which took place.There have been all sorts of lies reported by the Press during Trump's 4 yrs. They were documented and discussed at length here on VN. Anything mentioned from the Steele Report was a lie. Claims of collusion with Russia was a lie. Claims that Russian disinformation swung the election for Trump is a lie. The story on the Covington Catholic kids in DC was a lie and has made one of those kids millions of dollars
Because the internet is controlled by far left entities it's hard to find retractions from MSM when they screw up but here's one:
WaPo Retracts Claim President Called Jobs 'Great' for George Floyd
Because the WaPost started that lie, stories are still up from other left wing news places repeating it:
Trump Says Jobs Report Made It a ‘Great Day’ for George Floyd, Stepping on Message
'Revolting': Trump condemned for saying George Floyd is praising US economy
Trump invokes George Floyd's name while taking economic victory lap - CNNPolitics
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-52941258
So why do we need Fox News? Answer: because they're the only network that told us the truth and sorted this out:
Mainstream media falsely frames Trump's 'great day' George Floyd remarks on jobs report instead of equality under law
We need right wing biased news in order to sort out the nonsense we're being fed from the left wing MSM. Now you have a thoroughly documented example
So here we have heavily documented evidence of a lie.

It was improper for Trump and his son to lie about what was discussed at the June 9, 2016 Trump Tower meeting, as well as who was in attendance. Why lie about such a thing, if there was nothing illicit to hide? Lying implies a consciousness of guilt (over something?) and this time, Trump's lies invited the scrutiny they received. That isn't the fault of the media... or the fault of anyone but the Trumps.Mueller had everything at his disposal to prove this and failed to do so. Very few investigations get that much power, time and money to investigate something. If he couldn't prove it then it's improper for anyone to act as if the allegations were true and that's exactly what the MSM did night after night

I was referring to the news knowingly spreading lies and disinformation during the last impeachment and pretty much through the whole Trump Presidency
You think the Russia collusion coverage, Steele dossier coverage, Ukraine phone call / whistleblower coverage, etc by the MSM was not full of disinformation and that the press wasn’t knowingly profiting off of misleading their audiences?
You're worse than a women in hanging onto old events that meant nothing and bringing them up years latter in an argument.
Both Fox News and Newsmax had talk show hosts who were spreading easily disprovable conspiracy theories concerning voting systems in the 2020 Presidential election. Those networks were threatened with law suits and Fox News produced a video which was played across three different shows (Lou Dobbs Tonight, Judge Jeanine and Maria Bartiromo) that basically de-bunked those same conspiracy theories regarding Smartmatic and Dominion. The threat of litigation sufficiently served as a deterrent to their lies. No such legislation was necessary. There is no irony. Freedom of the press doesn't cover defamation.
That it was Russia and his continued silence on their meddling into our affairs, will follow him for a few more years. I completely disagree with the scoffing of it
He should already have spoken out against them. That being said, it's exclusive of the Russian matter. You know, you can question both at the same time. A concern about Russia isn't necessarily a deference to China. I don't concern myself with the hypocrisy of the media in covering such matters. As many in your camp are outraged over the differences in coverage, it's still all about forming your own opinion free from MSMHow long do I have to wait for Biden to speak up about China's meddling?

That's your opinion. I rarely believe any opinion by a MSM op-ed. I look at recorded documented events. With all due respect, your opinion on the matter wreaks of gullibility much more so than mine.Still no proof any of that happened. It was all manufactured & made up lies by the left hating loonies.
You're just too gullible to keep that lie alive & to believe anything the loony left-wing haters tell you.
