Obama Misleads on Ohio Bridge Repairs, Again: "Once again we see a president that makes outright false claims over and over again imagining that if he just says the lies enough people won't notice that he's lying any more. Still, Obama does know one thing. He knows that most news outlets will uncritically report his words as "news" without noting where he is lying and voters will hear his fantasy "facts" and imagine that he is telling them the truth.
In that case, he's right. All he has to do is tell any lie he wants and most of the time his words will be taken as fact whether they are or not. Bloomberg, for one, never noted that Obama lied in its report. Neither did ABC News. And neither did the National Journal which happily noted Obama's attacks on Republicans but didn't note his lies. In fact, only the WaPo Fact-Checker noted his outright lies at the union event. Many other followed suit reporting Obama’s words as if his claims were legitimate political points."
