Reb E: 37 instances of either direct lies or misstatements to be precise. At the Black Journalists meeting in Chicago this week, he complained about the “delay” related to the sound system (which was resolved in a few minutes) In reality, he himself had refused to go on stage if there was real-time “fact-checking” on the organization’s website. After about 45 minutes, he finally relented and came on stage.
Given his tendency to engage in personal insults, demeaning comments etc. (especially when challenged by female and minority reporters), go off on rants and refuse to directly answer questions even after follow ups by the reporter, some effort at fact-checking would seem essential.
