    Michael Tracey Retweeted NBC News

    Everyone makes mistakes, but this “mistake” could’ve been avoided by simply taking 2 minutes to listen to the full context. So “mistake” probably isn’t the right wordhttps://twitter.com/nbcnews/status/1051523821642113025 …

    CORRECTION: An earlier tweet misidentified the general President Trump described as "incredible" at a rally in Ohio. It was Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, not Gen. Robert E. Lee. An attached video clip lacked the full context for Trump's remark. Here is the full clip. pic.twitter.com/NZHj3Q2dHL

        If this is a “mistake,” the past 3 years of reporting on Trump have been largely a mistake. That wouldn’t be entirely inaccurate in my purview.

        It was a misrepresentation of an actual statement . Some would call it a lie.

        This clip is remarkable - he soberly achieves an aesthetic that is far funnier than the 'drunk history' series. But even with all the Trumpian flourishes, digressions, and reductive generalizations he isn't wrong. Also incredible how blithely he wanders into culture war territory

        Funny how these "mistakes" are never flattering to Trump. The question is what level of intentionally spreading a falsehood is it vs. them simply being rushed/sloppy/careless and consistantly reporting through a lens of confirmation bias.

        It was not a mistake. I'm sure they wanted to paint Trump as a Lee fan and they knew it was not the case. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAt!

        The scary thing is that before social media and the internet they would get away with shit like this cos people didn't have the ability to check for themselves.

        "mistakes" are the new normal which tells you more about their audience then them.

        You’re still whining about nonsensical stuff more than actual important things? AltRight is happy. Don’t bother with literally thousands of lies from Drumpf or incredibly harmful policies or destruction of climate or his tax fraud... No you continue whine about media or Kanye.

        Leave it to NBC to immediately dilute the horrendous distortion done by Fox News by doing their own mild distortion that all the righties and contrarians can jump on while ignoring Fox.
