We
the media have “fact-checked” President Trump like we have fact-checked
no other human being on the planet—and he’s certainly given us plenty
to write about. That’s probably why it’s so easy to find lists
enumerating and examining his mistakes, missteps and “lies.”
But as
self-appointed arbiters of truth, we’ve largely excused our own
unprecedented string of fact-challenged reporting. The truth is,
formerly well-respected, top news organizations are making repeat,
unforced errors in numbers that were unheard of just a couple of years
ago.
