While I agree with CNN completely that also discredits CNN for me personally. No news agency with any sense of journalistic integrity should be calling a person a liar. They should be expressing what they said, and presenting whatever evidence there is around a subject. This can of course clearly imply a lie, but that is not something I want my news asserting, especially about a persons character overall.

CNN calls #TFG a big liar.
He's wildly exaggerating stats, grossly distorting his opponent’s record & his own, regularly just plain making stuff up, he's lying to American voters with a frequency & variety whose only precedent is his own previous campaigns.
He made 1,000s of false claims as pres., esp. during crises & elections -never been a pres. who's lied this much. "1st pres. to consistently seek to create a sep. reality -inventing stories out of thin air-."
