Still waiting on this. "Can you give an example of a lie or inaccurate "smear" that the media is spreading about Drumpf? I'm not talking about Facebook nonsense, but the actual media, so I can get an idea where you're coming from."
Still haven't seen one lie or inaccurate smear the media is spreading about Drumpf.
Trump is not a successful businessman. Critics says he inherited a fortune from his family and has declared bankruptcy several times. But Trump's father had a net wealth estimated at between $250 million and $400 million at the time of his death, and he had four surviving children who were heirs, so Trump is responsible for accumulating the great bulk of his fortune. Trump has never personally declared bankruptcy. Some businesses he controlled or licensed his name have, but this is not unusual for a mogul who has owned hundreds of properties and businesses through the years.

He said all Mexicans were rapists. What he said while announcing his candidacy is that illegal immigrants from Mexico are "bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."Trump has made it clear he was not saying all Mexicans are criminals or that all illegal aliens are criminals, but the media have continued to charge that he branded Mexican immigrants as rapists. He has also said he "loves" the Mexican people, but was referring to the Mexican government.
.
Trump said John McCain is not a war hero. The Washington Post reported that Trump said "McCain was not a war hero because he was captured by the North Vietnamese." But Trump immediately modified his statement by saying, four times, that McCain is a war hero, including: "He is a war hero" and "he is a war hero because he was captured."
The Post also did not put Trump's remarks in the context of a feud between Trump and the Arizona senator, who has characterized some Trump supporters as "crazies."
.
Only 2,500 people showed up to hear Trump speak at the Phoenix Convention Center. The Phoenix Business Journal reported that 4,200 people were on hand, and noted, significantly, that "there were scores of Trump backers that did not get into his rally because the room hit fire code capacity." Other independent observers have placed the crowd at over 7,500.
.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus spoke at length with Trump and asked him to tone down his rhetoric. Trump said that in fact he spoke with Priebus for just 10 minutes and Priebus told him that Trump hit a "nerve, doing well." He said Priebus told him "you can't change your personality and I understand that." Trump said it "was a really nice call, a congratulatory call."
.
Hispanics don't like Trump. A poll by One America News Network in Nevada found that Trump received 31.4 percent support among Hispanics, higher than the 27.7 percent he received overall. The only other candidate to receive double digit support from Hispanics was Scott Walker. with 11.4 percent.
.
Trump lied about his salary from "The Apprentice." MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell claimed that Trump's statement in his federal disclosure document that he made more than $213 million as host of the NBC reality show was a "complete, total lie." Later that same day O'Donnell backed away from the claim, saying "I don't know" how much Trump really earned.
.
Trump was a draft dodger. Pundit Fact, a site powered by PolitiFact.com, looked into the charge and concluded: "To the best of our knowledge, no one has charged Trump with violating the Selective Service law. His student deferments were routine. And unless someone has new information, there is no legal issue with his medical deferment."

On Thursday the media told Trump former Grand Wizard David Duke had endorsed him.
Trump disavowed the endorsement.

I asked Trump last Thursday in the spin room about Duke and White supremacist support. He "disavowed" it. He also "disavowed" Duke on Friday
On Friday at a press conference the media told Trump former Grand Wizard David Duke had endorsed him.

As I stated at the press conference on Friday regarding David Duke- I disavow.
On Sunday the media told Donald Trump former Grand Wizard David Duke had endorsed him.
Trump told the media to send him the list and he would look it over.
Then the media and GOP establishment really lost it.
Mitt Romney slammed the GOP front-runner for coddling repugnant bigotry.

✔@MittRomney
A disqualifying & disgusting response by @realDonaldTrump to the KKK. His coddling of repugnant bigotry is not in the character of America.
Even Rush Limbaugh weighed in on the endorsement and Donald Trump’s response.
On Monday night David Duke released a video saying he NEVER ENDORSED Donald Trump.
Duke went off on the Media and GOP lies.
I’m David Duke and this is a quick unscripted response to the CNN interview today with Donald Trump. The inaccurate reporting by the media that I had endorsed Donald Trump… I am not endorsing Donald Trump.
MEDIA LIES: Falsely Claims Trump Ordered Black Students Kicked Out of Valdosta, Georgia Rally
The media committed another hit job on Donald Trump Monday evening, falsely reporting that he personally ordered a large group of Black students be removed from a campaign rally held at Valdosta State University in Georgia.
The rumor started with Des Moines Register reporter Jennifer Jacobs who reported–without verifying–on Twitter and then in a report for USA Today that a group of Black students were kicked out before the rally began on orders by Trump. Jacob’s false report was picked up by many outlets without verification.
It was only hours after smearing Trump that Jacobs reported a flat denial from the Trump campaign.
Jacobs reported the students were not protesting yet a video report with her article includes a Black student stating “we came to the rally today just to make a statement with our attire.” The student and her group were dressed in black.
Jacobs reported the students were standing as a group on the top row of a section of bleachers when they were removed.
Trump has an announced policy that protesters will be removed from his rallies.
USA Today lede by Jacobs:
VALDOSTA, Ga. — About 30 black students who were standing silently at the top of the bleachers at Donald Trump’s rally here Monday night were escorted out by Secret Service agents who said the presidential candidate had requested their removal before he began speaking.
The sight of the students, who were visibly upset, being led outside by law enforcement officials created a stir at a university that was a whites-only campus until 1963.
Note that there are no qualifiers, such as ‘students claim they were removed at Trump’s order’ or anything remotely close to ethical reporting.The sight of the students, who were visibly upset, being led outside by law enforcement officials created a stir at a university that was a whites-only campus until 1963.

The black Valdosta U students tell me they were standing silently in the bleachers when Secret Service told them Trump wanted them removed.

Tahjila Davis, 19, says she has never felt racism at Valdosta til now.
"They said this is Trump's property. I paid my tuition to be here."
Jacobs false report was picked up by other media outlets and went viral on Twitter:
The Hill: Trump orders Secret Service to remove black students from rally
Gawker: Report: Donald Trump Requested That a Group of Black Students Be Removed From His Rally Before It Had Even Started
The Resurgent: Donald Trump Throws Out Black Students a Day After Not Denouncing the KKK
The Huffington Post: Black Students Removed From Trump Rally In Georgia
Video taken inside the rally shows a group of Black men and women giving the raised fist ‘Black Power’ salute and being kicked out.
Several commenters at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution who claimed to have been at the rally and witnessed the behavior of the students contradicted what was reported by Jacobs.
“they were ejected because they were trying to remove banners from the wall before trump even got on campus. Had NOTHING to do with race, but this being AJC its only about race.”
“That’s a not true Jennifer…I was there and they went in a area that was off limits and was moved out… then they gave the black power hand fist and start the black lives matter… then they were removed for causing a problem. I noticed 5 or 6 returned later and was in stands but no problem after that. One white kid in middle of the crowd with about 10 minutes to go before being over started calling Trump names and was told to leave.
“The Valdosta Police and LCSO did a great job with the crowds and Trump fans… Super nice to everyone.”
“I am at the event, they were booing, some even started up with the Black lives matter BS when they were being escorted out”
I see the insane Sick Brit Twit is back to his animal fetishes. So Drumpf said McCain was not a War hero, the press accurately reported Drumpf said McCain was not a war hero, and the press is somehow lying, by ACCURATELY reporting what Drumpf said? They also reported his "modifications", but he never apologized for his original statement, and sycophants like this idiot blame the press for telling the truth. No surprise.
[h=1]MSNBC backfire on Donald Trump[/h]
This video contains a mishap which involves David corn and host Tamron Hall . Tamron cuts to a trump rally for an interview which I'm more than sure she was told was going to be a white KKK person supporting trump. Boy was she burned just look at her reaction after the African American trump supporter has to say.
