Was the video titled "McConnell smirks at Clinton"? 

What does that have to do with anything? You said I didn't dispute anything, and I said I did, which I did. If you wanted an answer about why the video was titled as it was, ask whoever made it.

I said that the video's title was a lie in that McConnell didn't laugh.  You said McConnell smirked.  This does not count as "disputing" what I said.  You didn't dispute that the title claimed that McConnell laughed; you didn't dispute that McConnell did not in fact laugh; you didn't dispute that as a result the title was a lie.  You said "smirk[ing] is about as close to a laugh as you get [with McConnell]", which is irrelevant, and also false. 

At best, you tried to imply—but did not outright state—that it shouldn't count as a lie if everyone knows that the claim is false and the claimant wasn't trying to deceive anyone.  Well, it wasn't obviously false to someone who hadn't seen the clip already (McConnell can and does sometimes laugh, but he didn't in this case); I didn't know it was false and had no reason to assume it was; and I have no reason to think the video's poster wasn't trying to mislead people in order to garner more clicks.  Laughs is even in ALL CAPS. 

If you'd like, I will admit that you thought you were disputing one or more of my claims when in fact your attempt to do so was stillborn, failing to qualify as such due to not actually contradicting what I said (as explained in the first paragraph).  I'm not inside your head so only you can tell if that was the case; therefore, I'll wait for your reply.  Is that what happened?
