On CNN this morning, Cris Cuomo told Trump's campaign manager, Paul Manafort, that he (Manafort) was lying when he continues to say that the speech reflected Melania own words when it was so obviously plagiarism. Cuomo went on to point out that this is part of a continuing pattern of lying by the Trump campaign when they denie what obviously happen like when Trump made fun of a handicapped reporter. I have rarely seen a TV news personality get in a political operatives face like that, though he did with some grace. Chris also pointed out that Trump's statements failed fact checking 85% of the time.

I think the media is getting sick and tired of the Trump campaign's continual lies to them while the bashing Hillary for not being truthful. All I can say is - it's about time someone called these idiots out.
