#Trump goes to war against real-time #FactChecks
The moves are the latest example of Trump’s long-held resistance to being called to account for his #lies.
Trump & his campaign have waged an aggressive campaign against #FactChecking in recent months, pushing TV networks, #journalism orgs & others to abandon the practice if they hope to interact w/Trump.

#Trump nearly backed out of an August interview w/ #NABJ, a group of Black journalists, after learning they planned to #FactCheck his claims. The following month, he & his allies repeatedly complained about the fact-checking that occurred during his debate w/VP #KamalaHarris, berating #journalists & #news executives in the middle of the televised debate.

And this month, #Trump refused to sit down for an interview w/CBS’s “60 Minutes” because he objected to the show’s practice of fact-checking.
Campaign advisers also expressly asked CBS News to forgo fact checking in its VP debate w/ Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen #JDVance — who then complained on air when a moderator corrected him.

The moves are the latest example of #Trump’s long-held resistance to being called to account for his #lies, which have formed the bedrock of his political message for yrs. Just in recent weeks, for example, Trump has seized on fabricated tales of migrants eating pets & Venezuelan gangs overtaking cities in pushing his anti-#immigration message as he seeks a second term in office.

@Nonilex
So the strongman’s kryptonite is just fact checking.
Resistance Starts NOW @Nonilex This is ridiculous. Fact checking should be mandatory
.@Nonilex Very, very, VERY old joke:
Q: “How do you know if a mule trader is lying?”
A: “If his lips are moving, he’s lying.”
@Nonilex
Challenge accepted. We'll ignore the nitwit into oblivion...
@Nonilex Here's hoping it backfires and they call his bluff. Doubt it, though.
@Nonilex Every stop, every event. Vance and all of his "surrogates" too.
@Nonilex where there’s smoke, there’s fire. This reminds me of when Trump insisted that if COVID cases went unreported, then things were getting better.
One thing is certain: refusing to be fact checked is an admission that you’re lying liar who lies a lot.
