Glenn Kessler has announced that he is leaving the Washington Post. About 10 years too late for the Washington Post's reputation.

Kessler was the most defiantly ignorant journalists on the Washington Post staff, and the numbers of lies he helped perpetuate, by stupidity or malice, is as long as his list of bylines.

One of the dumbest in his hall of shame:

Cruz "missed the scientific animation"? Kessler is a certifiable moron.

He ran the old WaPo Trump lie counter, something I wrote a bit on back in 2021. Of the top 41 lies listed on his Lie Tracker, he managed to lie 94.5% of the time, by his own standards.

Is Kesslers argument that if the covid virus was being studied in the Wuhan lab that it could not jump to one of the researchers studying it?

Didn't you watch the scientific animations?! ;) 😆

I went through each of the "lie" determinations by Kessler in he top40 list and found that the "lies" he found were mostly Kessler's own strawmen or difference of opinion on subjective statements.

Since Kessler decided to mark each time a statement made was a lie, I just chalked up his strawmen and misrepresentations and lies perpetuated by Kessler, which accounted for 94.5% of his assessed "lies".
 
I did not

Kessler determined that the Wuhan Lab story was a lie because the Chinese released an animation of the containment features they claim existed in the Lab... he didn't bother to fact check the lab, just took what they said as fact and called Cruz a liar.

Kessler is a moron, is what I'm saying.

Why don't you put dear leaders lies to the same metric and let us know what you find?

Of course you'll have to massively expand your resources, he lies 40 times a press conference.

Can you name a specific lie?

That's precisely what I did. I took Kessler's top 41 list of Trump lies and Kessler's arguments for why they were lies and assessed that 94.5% of Kessler's claims were lies by Kessler's by his own stated criteria.

In other words, Pulitzer Price worthy reporting then, based on previous awards of that.
<smh>

Yeah, they gave out Pulitzers for reporting on the Steele Dossier, so it's not like the Pulitzer board has any credibility at this point.

Like giving a Nobel Peace Prize to President O-Bomber.
 
Kessler's your Dear Leader?

Nobody is my "dear leader". I assumed your crack was meant to ask if I evaluated Trump's statements and since the whole article is evaluating Trump statements I thought I should point out your foolishness.
