Why are they not fully quoting our president? (Light bulb moment)

Sep 13, 2019 14:27

I think news media needs to start quoting Trump more often and more accurately.  Too often I see them summarizing what his "point" is, where giving his exact words would've been far, far better.

For example, here's this:

"And I looked at it, the bulb that we're being forced to use, number one to me, most importantly, the light's no good. I always look orange. And so do you. The light is the worst.

"But number two, it's many times more expensive than that old incandescent bulb that worked very well. And very importantly-I don't know if you know this-they have warnings. If it breaks it's considered a hazardous waste site. It's gasses inside."

"And read what they say. If it breaks bring it to your local whatever, have it wrapped, have it this-what are we doing? What are we doing? And I said to one of the top people today, well they break a lot don't they? Yes they do, they just throw them away, they don't care."

See, makes it all very clear, doesn't it?  What is the number one most important thing?

Meanwhile, "Climate change: 12 years to save the planet?  Make that 18 months."
