CNN Fact-Checker Finds 3 Glaring Problems With Trump White House’s News App
Key Points:
- The White House promoted its official app as a source for "real-time updates" and "no noise" about the Trump administration following the suspension of pool coverage by major TV networks.
- CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale discovered that the app's data on key metrics like gas prices, inflation, and GDP growth was outdated by several months.
- Gas prices cited were from seven months prior and significantly lower than current figures, while inflation and GDP data were also based on old statistics, not reflecting recent economic changes.
- Dale suggested that traditional news outlets might provide more accurate and timely information than the White House app.
