FAIL: Journo tries to smug-school Trump on country's motto, #FakeNews spotters point and laugh

Doug P. | 11:04 AM on January 31, 2018

A reporter & CNN political analyst tried to fact check something President Trump said in his State of the Union address last night, and, well, let’s just say it didn’t go a long way towards removing the media’s “fake news” label.

12 hours later and this incorrect tweet is still up. I'm assuming Karem, a CNN contributor, will correct or delete this because *clears throat* facts first.https://t.co/wpDYlg98XM

Check out this attempt at a “fact check”:

Our motto is "in God we trust." – WRONG. Our motto has been E Pluribus Unum – out of many One.

Oh really? Nearly 4,000 retweets and counting, except there’s a problem (as is often the case with the media):

It's one thing if you don't know this fact, @BrianKarem .
It's another thing entirely when a political analyst "corrects" the President in a gotcha moment while getting the facts abjectly incorrect pic.twitter.com/DwSK9Of0uH
