USA Today has made a damaging plunge into the exact opposite of what decent journalism is meant to be,. By printing a lie-filled op ed Donald Trump it has gone beyond the many media that already are quoting Trump's lies without reference to the truth. Nothing is more opposite to good journalism than this.
Daily Beast -The Washington Post’s fact-check team reported that almost every sentence in Trump’s opinion article for USA Today contains a misleading statement or a falsehood. The op-ed, which states “Democrats ‘Medicare for All’ plan will demolish promises to seniors,” contains previously debunked claims, the publication states. “Presumably the president is aware of our fact checks—he even links to one—but chose to ignore the facts in service of a campaign-style op-ed,” the article states. The Post article dissects the president’s piece line-by-line, correcting his claims along the way.
