Like Dan Rather, to this day these guys still believe that they were right. So it is with many of the memes floated out about Trump by the news media. Proven false, but still allowed to remain in the public mind ...

How would you remove these things from the "public mind"?

With a very prominent correction meant to counter the first impression left by the story rather than some anemic little note buried out of the way.

So, your suggesting there is fake news. Got an example?

Got several.

Here's one:

During a live "special report" Friday morning, Ross reported that Flynn would testify that Donald Trump had ordered him to make contact with Russians about foreign policy while Trump was still a candidate.

That was false.

Here's another:

TIME reported that Trump removed a bust of Martin Luther King, Jr. from the Oval Office.

This was on day one of the Trump administration. It was false.

Trump has published a laundry list of examples.

Wow, this is new. A politician who is an arsehole and a liar. Whatever shall we do?

I like his policies, though, and you can eat your heart out if you don't.
