The Washington Post isn’t trying very hard to hide its partisan bias in its fact-check on President Trump’s Oval Office address on border security and illegal immigration. Rather than an even-handed assessment of what was factual or not in the address — which a true fact-check would of course attempt to provide — the Post’s Salvador Rizzo focused his energy on trying to find things that were “misleading,” as he makes clear in his opening line.
“The first misleading statement in President Trump’s Oval Office address Tuesday night came in the first sentence,” Rizzo begins. But Rizzo’s “fact-check” has some “misleading” aspects itself. Let’s look at a few.
