Probably because calling them "lies" could open one up to being sued in court. Are they lies? We all know it, sure. But until proved so in court (and even then, there will be tactics like "oops, we didn't know it was false, but we didn't lie your Honour!!"), calling them lies is probably legally actionable.
They're not. You're thinking of disinformation. 'Blatant lies' are disinformation. Misinformation is incorrect information without the specific intent to deceive.
@@troffle I don’t think you can be sued for anything this blatant (and many would want them to try, actually). Misinformation is just a specific form of lying, probably.
The problem with criticizing Walz lies/exaggerations/whatever is that the level of exactitude Democrats are being expected to speak with is unreasonable. The man has been a public figure for decades and they have two quotes that sound like a reasonable way to say something but are not true from the perspective of a lawyer or debate club. It is not useful to subject those things to this level of scrutiny. Neither of these things are deceptive, let alone harmful. Not just in comparison to the constant harmful lies of Trump, just in general it is not worth criticizing Walz to this level for these things.
We live in a world beyond Orwell's darkest dreams. The fourth estate, desperate to stay profitable, has become habituated to sanewashing any and all of this unhinged behaviour and rhetoric. Without a two horse race, there's nothing to drive views and clicks for that profit margin. So, if it's an unhinged disaster running against boring normality, the bar will always be lowered to fit the former into the overton window, so that the Hollywood-style plot tension can be maintained. The media, as a whole, is grasping for relevance and will do anything to keep it - cost to society be damned.
What???? Did you not see his legless Star-jumps? His shirt was smaller than a combined Drag Paul episode. He's a super-cool dude!! Although, have to say, Stephen Hawking's star-jumps were a bit better.
Trump makes up obvious lies while campaigning but half the country wants to vote for him anyway. I think some kind of mental dysfunction is happening here.
Most people seem to have mental dysfunction as most have no idea how corrupt and unequipped both presidential candidates / parties are. Good in-depended media highlight this with volumes of supporting data but get buried and smeared by corporatist legacy media.

I've found the community notes on twitter do help a lot with misinformation. For example, the video today doing the round of Biden saying to get vaccinated before the hurricane was correctly identified as coming from 2021. And importantly community notes helps with misinformation from all sides of politics.

Well there was a healthcare policy announced at least! Harris stating that Medicare would be extended to cover more of in-home care. Republicans do make a commitment to seniors and people with chronic illnesses with the platform emphasises the role of private providers - I’d be willing to bet that it would be tweaks at best, Medicare is thankfully pretty entrenched.

I don't get it. There is 650 million for immigrants, but FEMA has no money for disaster, and yet everyone here is whining about the "misinformation", but why don't the government redirect those funds to care for their own citizens. Seems to me that is the main complaint ordinary people have and is pretty justified.

Mismanagement of information can be found on both sides of the aisle. For the sake of balance it would have been more professional of you to give examples from the Republicans and the Democrats.
Maybe so, but the US is such a cesspool of corruption, social disharmony and self righteousness that the source of questionable information is well represented on the left and right in the US .
I'm so sorry for you. It must be awful being strapped to a chair and forced to watch a show you can't stand that gives you a cognitive dissonance migraine because facts conflict with your preconceived opinion 😕
It's like when you're having a dream and within that dream you question that it's probably not reality - you suppose it must be 'dreaming'. And then you confirm to yourself that it is really real. And then you wake up, to reality. Ergo, belief can be an illusion, like faith.
