Donald Trump is averaging 7.6 Mistrust a day

Analysis By Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large
Updated 2330 GMT (0730 HKT) August 1, 2018


Washington (CNN)I've written -- a lot -- about how the most enduring legacy of Donald Trump's presidency, whether it lasts four years or eight years, is his unapologetic assault on facts and the idea of truth. We have simply never had a president who says as many things that aren't true as Donald Trump. Or a president who, once it's clear what he's saying isn't accurate, takes such pleasure in repeating falsehoods.
Which brings me to The Washington Post Fact Checker's running count of how many things Trump has said -- since being sworn in on January 20, 2017, that are either misleading or totally untrue. And to these two sentences in particular: "As of day 558, he's made 4,229 Trumpian claims — an increase of 978 in just two months. That's an overall average of nearly 7.6 claims a day."
The President of the United States is saying more than seven things that aren't true a day.

Good Journalism Promotes Good Governance – President Buhari

Image
President Muhammadu Buhari has called on journalists across the world to ensure that they continue to uphold the ethics of their profession and practice good journalism. This, he said, is because good journalism is critical to the development and growth of societies and is needed to combat the challenges posed by fake news. The President made the call at the 2018 World Congress of the International Press Institute (IPI), which had the theme ‘Why Good Journalism Matters’ in Abuja, the nation’s capital on Thursday. He said, “In a world where the borderline between hate speech and free speech has become blurred, good journalism matters. “In an environment where fake news dwarfs investigative journalism, good journalism matters. For survival in an increasingly competitive field, good journalism matters. Good journalism promotes good governance.” President Buhari, therefore, called on participants at the Congress “to give depth to the topic” in their discussions and conclusions. He pr...

Find out about Abia State University Post-UTME screening, including when it is happening and what you should know about it. For some reason, Abia State University, as well as many other reputable universities in Nigeria, suffers from a very poorly made website.

Luckily for you, we have been able to unearth all the important information about the university’s Aptitude Test, and we want to tell you all we know.

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has commended the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC)  for conducting credible Local Government Elections  across the state.  The governor also commended security agencies for ensuring that the elections were  peaceful by creating the right atmosphere for peaceful polls. Speaking in an interview after monitoring the local government elections in Port Harcourt and Obio/Akpor Local Government Areas, Governor Wike said that the non-participation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the elections turned out to be one of the reasons why the process was peaceful.  He said: "Sixty-six out of sixty-eight political parties participated, but no violence.  That means that if APC had participated, probably we would have seen violence.  "Sixty-six political parties, no  violence, no shooting, nobody  has died. But if the APC had participated, they would want to coerce security...
