Washington - President Donald Trump kicked off his formal reelection campaign Tuesday night with a rally in Orlando. His 76-minute speech featured more than 15 false statements, many of them ones that he's repeated frequently in the past. Here's a fact check: Energy- Trump boasted about his administration's energy policies. (Snip) “The United States is now the number-one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world.”

CNN wouldn't know a "fact" if it bit them on the butts!!!!!
But I guess the 15 brain dead viewers they have left are absolutely thrilled with this information!!!

No doubt Daniel Dale got this list from the DNC and they are probably being paid to run this "article" which is really an ad for the DNC.

Did they fact check the "CNN Sucks" thing? That one is pretty accurate.

And they wonder why America has turned CNN off and why they shout "derogatory" comments about them? They broke away from the President Of The United States announcement of running for a second term... think about that for a minute. Would a "news" organization ever do that? That speech, for better or worse, was pure history and the responsibility of EVERY news organization is to cover it... period! They are so thin skinned, they pull out of coverage when the "crowd" mocks them and then, they put a "hit" piece like this in a clear attempt to discredit... again, The President Of The United States!!! They hate our President and the common American has no room for those who hate our duly elected President! They have earned America's disdain!

should CNN really be setting itself up to be the nation's proctor of false claims after its undisputed #fakenews prominence since Election 2016? the Dems have learned Z E R O in the days since the presidential. still the #delusionals. but worse - they now actually believe their delusional views.

Interesting to read anything from the hate-Trump non-news networks. You know it will be the worst thing they can find about Trump. This one is penny-ante. One-sided networks are not really news sources.

Sick, nitpicking liars. Don Lemon was a blubbering fool last night.
If somebody said they were going to give me a fortune and they only gave me $500K would I call it a lie? Hell no.

Couldn't make it through CNN's hair-splitting but had to laugh at #1. The US didn't become the #1 producer of natural gas under Trump, it became the #1 producer of oil! That's right, we passed Saudi Arabia and Russia under Trump. I'd say calling the US becoming the #1 energy produce is exactly right!

CNN fact check just means CNN disagrees with Trump, doesn't mean CNN's "facts" are correct -- in fact, more than likely they aren't but are just Leftist spin.

This piece is funny as can be. I highly recommend it. CNN has not an ounce of self-awareness, and certainly no sense of humor.
I think I've decoded the left's theory of current, domestic politics (with just a trace of sarcasm...).
Apparently, according to this insightful CNN piece, Obama postponed the realization of his miracles in the economy and energy self-sufficiency until well after he was out of office. So I ask, was Barack Obama modest to a fault?
He laid waste to his adoring Democrat Party, costing them over his tenure about a thousand elective positions. Why? Was he self-centered, only concerned with his own legacy?
He left over 130 judge positions unfilled. Why? Was he lazy?
No, no and no! It was all a clever plan.
In 2008, it's obvious to me now, he made a secret deal with Hillary. If she would let him go first, he'd pave the way for her, set up the judiciary, the economy, the DNC and more, to guarantee that she would be the greatest president of all! Everyone knew she couldn't lead a line of ants, and her oratorical talent was equaled only by, well, Tim Kaine. She needed the set-up. Thanks, Barry.
All glory, laud and honor was meant for Hillary, and then Trump spoiled everything!
No wonder she drinks too much and falls down a lot.
[end sarcasm]
OK, I'll keep my day job. But the CNN piece is funny. For example, Trump lied, LIED! about Hillary's emails, says CNN. How so? Bleachbit is a FREE download, and Trump said it was expensive.

So based on CNN's interprtation of energy, coal, natural gas, solar, wind are not considered energy. Nice they excluded huge energy products like coal and natural gas to create a 'fact'. Wonder why they call it fake news?

While I'm inclined to look for myself at what CNN is calling false, I refuse to reward them with another page hit for their latest daily anti-Trump hit piece.

Ah, the Clown News Network....
Heard an interview on Hugh Hewitt with Jim Acosta, who actually believes his network is not biased, that they play it down the middle.
Now you know why it's the Clown News Network.
If people could pick the channels they wanted to pay for, I doubt CNN would be able to hang on, but since they get a piece of every single subscriber to cable and satellite, they don't really need to care about ratings, they have a regular stream of income, regardless.

A few random thought:
1. 15 "lies" from a politician in 76 minutes is darn near sainthood territory
2. How many words did CNN parse to twist the statements into "lies"?
3. It's CNN folks. Did you really expect anything less?

Ah perhaps CNN should start reading FOrbes:

instead of Vanity Fair or Mad Magazine for their economic info. Making themselves look like fools again. They really are pathetic

I read a lot of the so-called lies. No, they were not lies--- they were said in the way most people speak. Like talking about generalities. And a lot of nit picking too. It was just stupid. Like the energy statement-- who except CNN and Dems cares that Trump meant Crude oil versus Oil and Gas, which we were already no. 1/ Anybody care???

As is typical of leftists, some of the alleged “misstatements” and/or refutations, fact-checking, are petty, picayune, nitpicking and nonsensical.
