I couldent stand to watch 90 min of tRump's smug smile and ridiculous facial contortions so I dident watch the debate. When I got up this morning I checked a fact check site and found a bunch of true, but misleading descriptions. I know at 81 many of my brain cells have gone south but I was always taught that if I misled someone I lied to them. Can anyone here explain just what the hell a true, but misleading statement means? The meanings of the two statements are 180 degrees apart. It means too me, that fact checks are a bunch of bull shyt meant to mislead people who arnt interested in looking for the truth. Most of them were in tRumps favor.
@RABEL222,
You can't believe everything you read from a news system that seemed bent on making out that this election is a horse race when the fact is the GOP is going to get the Barry Goldwater treatment again. They sell more papers during a horse race election and more election ads, too. tRump is going to get the ass whipping he richly deserves. And now the news industry can't even spin it any other way.
Say buh bye, Donald.

Hope your right, but a media industry that is supposed to only present the facts pisses me off mightly with this cheap shyt. Any damned fool should know that truth but misleading is not truth.
@RABEL222,
What did they have to say about Clinton and misleading facts?

Same as you - a lot hot air and innuendo and not a lick of evidence.
Two examples of true, but misleading statements are:
"Newton was wrong [about the laws that govern movement]". Although some exceptions have been found to Newton's laws since he discovered them and thus the statement is true, the laws are still taught and used, making the statement misleading.
Another example would be "I've never lost at chess" when the speaker has never played a game of chess.

Aw, I've done that kind of thing. When asked if I played tennis, I said "Well, not professionally". Never played the game in my life.

I didn't watch it either because they put it on at 2/3 in the morning. They're not going to get many viewers at that time of day.

Hey media you don't have to have intent in order to go to federal prison for not safeguarding our nation's secrets.
