Best case scenario it was an abhorrent gross amount of negligence to cover it that way, but I do agree it was probably deliberate. Omission of truth is usually their MO, though. My main concern is how common the use of fascist or Nazi is being used openly to the point that it is no longer simply trolling. I already hate people blanketly calling someone a racist, snowflake, sexist, or SJW because they disagree with them or to score points with their own crowd. But damn, it's not just about dismissing your opponent for having different views on how to run a country. It's saying that people that are maliciously trying to harm others because they are evil. Not only is it incredibly lazy and factually wrong, but it increases the divisiveness and potentially calls for violence to justify the solution. Not to mention the person who says or believes it is narrowing their entire perspective on the issue(s) at hand. Or, they cannot even begin to justify why someone might disagree with them to such a degree.

Is this any different then what was said during Obama term. At that time they tried to paint him as a socialist. Then when that went nowhere they tried to make it appear he was not born in the US and paint him as a muslim. Do not forget that Trump was one of the leading people behind trying to make this case. Even more funny, he said he had evidence but as always with Trump producing that evidence is always hard for him to do. Trump is being treated no better or worst than any other president who make way to many comments without going through the political filters. He gives ammunition to his enemies because he doesn't have a filter or know when to shut up. People who love him believe this is some grand strategy and people who hate him believe he is just stupid. Only time will tell which group is right.
