Stelter: How to know when Trump is lying In this video segment, CNN's Brian Stelter discusses the complexities surrounding the truthfulness of statements made by former President Donald Trump. He emphasizes that while it is widely recognized that Trump has a record of dishonesty, it's paramount for the media to differentiate between trivial deceptions and significant fabrications. Stelter argues that not every assertion by Trump can be labeled a lie and stresses the importance of context in media reporting. Stelter suggests that journalists need to be discerning in their coverage. When reporting on Trump's statements, they should critically assess the content to avoid perpetuating misinformation. The video calls for a more nuanced approach to political reporting, particularly when dealing with controversial figures known for their inconsistent statements. At this point, viewers are encouraged to reflect on the challenges news outlets face and to consider how they can inform their audiences without resorting to sensationalism. It's a relevant discussion as we observe the evolving landscape of media and its role in democracy.
