(Alex Brandon | The Associated Press) In this Tuesday, Aug. 21, 2018, file photo, President Donald Trump waves as he boards Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., en route to West Virginia for a rally. Trump has been accused of dishonesty, spreading falsehoods, misrepresenting facts, distorting news, passing on inaccuracies and being loose with the truth. But does he lie? News organizations generally resist using the word because it requires them to judge a person's intent.
I read George Pyle’s April 21 article “When open-minded becomes a weakness” again today. I want to thank him for finding the words that so many of us are feeling.
We should not become immune to the constant stream of false statements uttered by people who hold and should protect the public trust. It's not okay.
