Trump is bad enough on his own, but it's unbelievable how dishonest members of the press are on this site. I had my DM's being filled with people outraged at Trump for saying George Floyd would be cheering on the jobs numbers. I was about to attack him. Then saw the full video.
Trump was talking about the need for "equal justice under the law" and how "we can't let that happen" referring to injustice. That was the context of his George Floyd comments that countless people intentionally cut out on this site.
Trump was literally saying that Floyd would be happy that we are moving towards fixing injustices, and a bunch of people intentionally cut out the part beforehand AND after to suggest he was talking about the jobs report.
How does anyone justify that type of dishonesty?

Almost every reporter on this site misled there readers/followers.
I mean @GabbyOrr_ simply made a claim that clearly wasn't true from the vide. How is that acceptable?

Look at this, over 5K RT’s where this CBS correspondent intentionally cut out the part beforehand and after to deceive people about the context. This should at least be worthy of a suspension at a news organization with any standards.
No, @peterbakernyt, Trump did not suggest that. He clearly wasn’t talking about the job numbers. You should delete your tweet and apologize.
Appears @kaitlancollins also decided to dishonestly mislead her audience into thinking that comment was about job numbers. Unfortunately, @jaketapper chose to spread that false claim.
And now you have countless news sites spreading this falsehood...
Do members of the press really not realize how much this stuff kills their credibility?

Here are Trump's full comments in that section. It's insane that out of everything he says, this part was deemed as outrageous and offensive. All because people trusted to honestly inform the public choose to twist this message of unity into something divisive.
A few outlets have now corrected and several reporters deleted their tweets, but the damage is done. The original narrative now spread.
No one will pause and ask how so many get it wrong when there is actual video? or how can they be trusted to get it right when there isn't?
