Here are the top lines from Donald Trump’s morning media blitz

....

He thinks Scott Walker's campaign isn't doing so hot.

"Scott was going to be sort of the leader in Iowa, and the common wisdom was that he would win Iowa because he's from the adjoining state, and his numbers are not good in the adjoining state," he said on Fox News. "He has a $2.2 billion deficit. … And their unemployment numbers are bad, and the state's mired in 38th place."

....

He thinks Bush is waging a war on women.

"I think Jeb Bush owes women an apology because he made a terrible statement about women's health issues, and it was a foolish statement and perhaps a stupid statement," he said on CNN. "It’s a statement that should never have come up, it should never have been made, and I think that will prove to be his ‘47 percent.’ … He's the one that has to apologize to women."

He will be so good to women.

“I will be so good to women. I cherish women," he told CNN's Chris Cuomo.

He wants to defund parts of Planned Parenthood, but not all of it.

“I would look at the good aspects of it, because I’m sure they do some things properly and good and good for women. And I would look at that, and I would look at other aspects also," he said on CNN. "But we have to take care of women. We have to absolutely take care of women. The abortion aspect of Planned Parenthood should absolutely not be funded.”

Most journalists don't bother challenging these sorts of lies, so the public hears them and thinks they must be true. It's a problem.

It's a sorry state of affairs. I believe it's one of the main reasons people have no idea what's really going on. That and the echo chamber of outright politicized news (Fox News, etc).

that abortion at PP is NOT funded by the federal government? That would be against the fucking law? Or did they just let the clown continue to spout off bullshit?
