Look, I know it’s a legal thing that they don’t want to print the word “lie,” but it’s just so tiring to not see the news call a spade a spade.
It is not a legal thing at all. It’s a house style thing. Many publications say it and are not sued. The reason not to say it is to maintain false neutrality.
Saying China runs the Panama Canal is just bizarre to me.
Is he conflating the return of the canal to Panama in 1999 and the return of Hong Kong to China in 1997 as the same thing?
The man is a gabbling imbecile. Trying to find meaning in his brainfarts is an exercise in futility.
Panama wants his company to pay taxes. Trump wants the canal.
What a coincidence.
I know right. The fact that he started shouting about the canal around the same time is unrelated, surely.
