CLAIM: The U.S. Marines arrested Colorado Supreme Court Justice Monica Márquez for voting to remove former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot.

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The claim originated on a website that says it publishes “humor, parody, and satire” and has previously posted similar false stories. A spokesperson for the Colorado Judicial Department confirmed that the allegation has “no legitimacy.”

THE FACTS: Following the court’s decision on Tuesday that Trump is ineligible for the White House under the U.S. Constitution’s insurrection clause, some on social media are sharing an article falsely claiming that the Marine Corps arrested one of the justices who was among the majority.

Since Trump came down that escalator eight and a half years ago, we've had nothing but false claims from the media...and that media doesn't ever label themselves as "humor, parody and satire".

So...is it Trump's fault? Or, is it the media's fault?

If we held "news outlets" to actually reporting news from reliable and well vetted sources it might help. We don't. Those requirement should be in place and any group not doing those things shouldn't be allowed to refer to themselves as NEWs.

You're not concerned that a government power to certify what is (or is not) a legitimate source of NEWS, might be abused?

Republicans could ban the Washington Post, and Democrats could ban FOX. All because you don't trust news consumers to work out for themselves who is reliable and well vetted.

So they would just be called "Fox" then? Or would "Fox propaganda" have a better ring to it? Or are you saying that a self professed decapitated time traveller is a reliable source??

Tell us you don't understand satire without telling us you don't understand satire.

Trump has said that he will go after the liberal media.

Man oh man, what you won't try for a deflection. What is THIS thread about? Try reading the title so you know what it is about.

Just because you do not believe something does not make it false.

And the bottom of the escalator came and trump went into his tirade about mexicans, they aren't sending us their best you know, rapists, drug dealers, murderers, but some, are nice. I thought trump was a counter puncher, were there mexicans there shouting stuff at him? I knew very, very little about trump, he had a casino in atlantic city is what I knew. All of my impressions of him I got from him, not the news media. Trump did what he did because he thought it would expand his 'brand name', he NEVER thought he would actually win. Sadly he's convinced folks just like you he is fighting for you when in fact he's playing y'all for money. He's going to lose again and the house to boot.

Well, what do you know! Here's another false claim!

For Mycroft every bad news story about Trump is fake news.

Regarding Trump, not a single claim of a single medium has been false.

Except for the rightwing media, which has -- among other lies -- convinced you that legitimate media lie about Trump.

No, false claims from YOU, nonstop bullshit about a stolen election.

Propaganda and disinfo.
