My point is that Trump lies so often that it's easy to forget to actually check on what you're reporting. Like the first piece reported in that article... Yeah if someone sent you just that clip and you see him referring to the wrong State, you might just accept that and post it without looking at the rest of the rally and realizing he was referring to something else. It's easy to forget that Trump isn't always full of shit.

That's a pretty absurd rationalization. The whole point of claiming to care about facts is that you hold yourself to a higher standard instead of just going on feels. Meanwhile, the article makes it clear that it's not just one oopsie, but a systemic pattern of lying on the part of Harris campaign.
