Because of all your posts I decided to dig up the transcript of the CNN broadcast I listened to. It was in the 4-5 PM hour last Friday. The show was The Situation Room. Here is the transcript: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/2004/24/sitroom.02.htmlExactly. Because what Joe Bagadonuts is saying is that MSNBC and CNN explicitly stated that Trump told Americans to inject disinfectants. That's the whole issue under debate. I don't watch them so I am still waiting for evidence, who said it, what did they say, etc.
If Chris Cuomo or Don Lemon said "Trump told Americans to inject disinfectant," that lie would exposed by a Breitbart and Fox News headline in two microseconds.
I can also tell you that in the same hour there were very similar comments on MSNBC.
The portion of the conversation I listened to involved Wolfe Blitzer, Jim Acosta, Sanjay Gupta and there were possibly more. To me, even re-reading their statements now, I think it is very reasonable for a listener to believe that the president advised Americans to inject themselves with household cleaners. They imply that repeatedly. As I said before, I switched to Fox and they weren't talking about it. I switched to MSNBC and they were saying much the same thing as CNN. As a result of the news stories I heard I believed that the president must have actually said these things (though I still wanted to hear his actual words to verify). When I did later hear the president's words I thought he should definitely not be musing about such ideas in public, and I also thought that he definitely did not say what the reporters on CNN and MSNBC claimed that he did.
