Sour grapes and quibbling, Washington Post. Even MSNBC and CNN found something decent to say about Trump's speech. The Washington Post is one of the few exceptions that pulled a Pelosi ... FTWP.

Their "fact-checking" actually confirmed most of the facts as being only mild exaggeration of factual material. Sounded more like someone wanted to (with much effort) make Trump look bad. Trying to make it sound like he is lying when he isn't.

Another fake news article, Wa Post should learn the difference between facts and "doesn't conform to their opinions."

Obama's lies and omissions will be hard to beat. One particular omission was not even mentioning Iran capturing our Sailors prior to the 2016 State of the Union address
