14. Those would be mistakes, not lies.
"1. Said that Moore claimed Cuba only paid $25 per annum per capita in health care costs, when the figure is $250. In fact, Moore, actually did say it was $250. Gupta did not apologize for that lie."

Gutpa made the point that the U.S. spends $7,000 per patient, while Cuba paid $25. That was a transcription error, Cuba pays $250. His point remains, the U.S. spends drastically more per patient than Cuba does. $7000 is still significantly more than $250. Gupta apologized for the error.

"2. Said that his guest was not affiliated with a Republican think tank, when he was. Gupta did not apologize for that lie."

Gupta, or likely some secretary, didn't do their homework. Big fucking deal.
