Cleaning Up, and a Free Media Course for Seniors

 

     The Poynter folks have done some post-election cleaning up...i.e. fact checking...and HERE are the results.

 

Plus this reminder:

                 (Donald Trump, May 26, 2016) 

“We’re going to win. We’re going to win so much. We’re going to win at trade, we’re going to win at the border. We’re going to win so much, you’re going to be so sick and tired of winning, you’re going to come to me and go ‘Please, please, we can’t win anymore.’ You’ve heard this one. You’ll say ‘Please, Mr. President, we beg you sir, we don’t want to win anymore. It’s too much. It’s not fair to everybody else.’” Trump said. “And I’m going to say ‘I’m sorry, but we’re going to keep winning, winning, winning, We’re going to make America great again.”
