I remember after her DNC speech, NPR put out an article listing all the misleading things in her speech and #1 was that she said Trump will jail journalists, and the article linked to a tweet of Trump saying "dishonest" journalists should be jailed but she's still being misleading because it wasn't actually a part of his official campaign platform.

No similar article existed for his RNC speech. Having preferred NPR for years, that moment made me realize just how hard the media failed the country.
