Time for AP “journalists” to stop bending and start fact-checking.
“bending the truth”
Elle_Eff247 Accused? now covering for leftists. Oh that’s right, they always have been leftist at the top. Or should I say globalist? Either way you are known as fakenews!!
Lying Fixed it
Bending? Seriously. Trashy Journalism.
Is bending the truth into giant pretzels 🥨 with this ridiculousness.
There was no truth in his story to 'bend'. It was lies from start to finish. WTF?
'bending the truth'? No, its called LYING and the media, by not doing its research before releasing a story is guilty of edorsing it. That is what fakenews is.
First time I lost my virginity, it was with 10 super models, I pleasured all of them, lasted hours and they said it was the best they ever had. True story... maybe just a slight bending of the truth.
Fake news
Hoaxing a hate crime is not bending the truth, it's taking it to a whore house and then saying you met a nice girl at church.
Manti Teo? Huh?
White powdered letters in the mail is a felony. JailJussie
Bent the truth completely in half. He lied and lied some more.
BHO
Bending the truth? Are you s**ting me? Tell me what truth was bent? FakeNewsMedia You people are disgusting. LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder
Bending the truth!?!?!?!?! Who wrote that...Al Sharpton?
Bending the truth? How about an outright lie? Your reporting is pathetic
LYING.
You mean LYING
Well that was then and this is now! He is so going to jail. We can always hope. A disgusting human.
“Bending the truth”. There was no truth to bend. It is all a lie. That you can’t or refuse to see that makes you culpable. JournalismIsDead is self inflicted
Jussie wants us to buy 👉 2 black men on their own bought red hats masks & rope and stalked Jussie at 2am in -20 weather to attack him. 😀
'Bending the truth'? 😂😂😂
Bending the truth. Bending. Seriously? They didn’t “bend the truth”. They flat out lied to the American people and in the JussieSmollett case he committed crimes...falsifying a police report, sending a hoax letter to himself, endangering people who support the POTUS bc of this.
Brian Williams😂consider the source
So we're grouping a Cat Fish victim (Te'o) in with people who knowingly manufactured the truth? Awesome reporting... (Not).
AP is fake news!
LYING
Bending the truth is lying for those of you in the press
Even this tweet is beyond 'bending' the truth.
“Bending the truth”. Another prime example of why the media is the enemy of the people, they fucking lied.
Bending the truth? Is stealing now borrowing too?
Teo was lied to. It’s kind of the opposite. Smollett lied repeatedly, on purpose - he had a campaign of lies, a net, including media interviews, police interviews and he just kept shoveling! He is still holding the shovel and threatening to use it more! AP, who writes this stuff?
FakeNews
Lying about liars lying! No wonder we consider you to be fake news.
What part of Jussie's story was true?
This tweet is why we call FAKENEWS, lying is not bending the truth. You’re welcome
I know you need to be nice to those on the left, but “bending the truth” is not a synonym for lying.
When you stop parsing your words and telling half-truths, you will be called FAKENEWS. I hope it’s not forever.
You wonder why we hate you. You wonder why we don't trust you. You wonder why your shops are closing & journos are being fired. THIS RIGHT HERE.⬆ He did not bend the truth. He staged an attack. He falsified a police report. And all in the sake of his pal Kammy to pass a bill.
Bending 😂🤣😂🤣
Ummm there was zero truth. It was flat out lies
How's it bending the truth when you completely lie? More proof how bias the media is....
Bending the truth is saying 'I an like Tupac' committing several felonies while faking a hate crime and most likely coordinated with Kamala Harris is just pathetic. Taking police resources, causing a panic and try to create hate against white people.
“Bending the truth” what spin!!!! Blatant!!
Bending the truth? Brian Willams steals valor and Smollett commits a crime and tries to start a race war.....Jesus you guys are leftwing nuts
Bending the truth?...how about out and out lying...intentionally trying to deceive in order to gain something.
Lying. The word you are looking for is lying. No stupid euphemisms, they were lying. And you wonder why we call you FakeNews
Hahaha they had to find a conservative to put on this moron lying liberal list so they dragged up the made up all the way back to 1982 😂 falklands war coverage report nonsense about Bill OReilley. Slim pickings for pinko democrats at AP. fakenews

My kids bend the truth with chocolate on their mouths.
And now, folks, more propaganda to disingenuously minimize leftist dishonesty for your reading pleasure.
Bending thr truth? Smollett faked a hate crime inciting racial division.
Pretty sure faking two different crimes agaibnst yourself and then lying to the police goes beyond “ ending the truth”
Um, you mean Lying!! Not 'bending the truth' ...Wow you guys keep showing your bias.
Two innocent white people could have gone to prison if the circumstances were altered. 'Truth bending' Smollett was ready to finger two innocent people before he was told the two were the Nigerian brothers. 'Bending' the truth... Fk you propagandists
BENDING

'BENDING THE TRUTH?' Excuse me, what the fk are you talking about? There was no bending of actual facts going on here, this was complete fabrication! Disgusting news source. AP is a total joke and we've known it for years, but this takes the cake. 😡
LOL 'Bending'
“Bending the truth”. It never stops.
'Bending the truth?' Bending implies that it's still intact, that there's still truth. This is the reason Americans believe media outlets less and less. They call lies the truth and expect us to embrace it. Hey AP, go to hell!
Bending the truth huh lying Lying Lying Lying Lying Lying Lying
miamivandynyu Fabricating a Hate Crime = Bending the truth. The AP = Tabloid journalism
Wow, you can try to soften it with bending truth but it’s not going to work. The line is drawn. He’s done.
Lying
The only one on this list who is a diabolical criminal is Jussie Smollet
'...bending the truth.' 😂😂😂
'bending the truth'. That's dem speak for what regular people call 'lying'. It started with 'it depends on what your definition of is is'. No wonder so many people are choosing to WalkAway.
When trump bends the truth it's lying. When liberals do it's it's called bending the truth. Huh
Bending the truth? Jussie Smollett staged a hate crime to try and stir up anger at a particular group of people
This kind of Journalism is why I think everyone should do what I’m about to do, remove and block the Associated Press from my feed. Goodbye you liberal rag .instablock
So your headline is actually lying then?
No!!!!! It's called lying period.

Bending the truth 😂😂😂
Did the TheBabylonBee get control of this account?
'Bending the truth?' You guys are laughable. It's called lying. You are all FakeNews and no one in their right mind listens to you anymore. By the way. Do you have any more 'news' on the RussianHoax?
Flat out lying is not bending the truth.
They lied, why do you cover up for evil deeds and criminals?
Lying outright and fabricating a story = “bending the truth.” Can any MSM outlet be considers unbiased anymore?
Bending? Oh the ratio. Then you will screech BUT BUT BUT WE AREN'T FAKE NEWS!!
FFS, close down that shit show you call a news organization. You're one step below TMZ and the View. Everything JS said was a lie!! No truth at all!!! And no, he didn't lie for money or fame, he lied because he's a racist!
Bending the Truth!! you look ridiculous by saying that!!! Just because you’re liberal and hate our POTUS doesn’t change the fact a crime was committed..not to mention he blatantly lied!!
Nancy Pelosi & Chuck Schumer are ignoring the crisis at the border & blocking reform. Why did Democrat party leaders turn their backs on the working class, the poor & the DACA kids? Why do they support child sex, human & drug trafficking? Why don't they enforce existing gun laws?
“Bend the truth” Wtf is THAT? No, it’s called lying. It’s called committing a felony to fake a hate crime. Stop trying to cover it up or lesson the severity. HE COMMITTED A CRIME.
'BENDING THE TRUTH' It called, get ready....FakeNews 🙄😂🖕
Bending the news, aka FakeNews

Wow this is amazing. Blatant disregard for the truth.
Lying is different then bending the truth...
You mean LYING. There, fixed it for you.
LYING is the proper term.
Bending the truth? Oh, the rhetoric! It's called LYING! Stop BENDING the truth. Good grief. JournalismIsDead
Hahaha
What part of truth? No bending to it.
You know what else is bending the truth? False equivalencies. But since you brought up the subject of people having fake partners, I think this will work well for the ratio.
Bending the truth? Are you kidding me, this punk tried to divide the country and the Fake news media would’ve ran with this for months. This is LYING! RACEBAITING! LIBERAL HOAXES! Call it what it is.
Its outright lying. He did not bend the truth he fabricated and lied outright.
GOBBLE
“Bending” the Truth? you are officially PATHETIC! It is called LYING! Which is why we call you FAKENEWS
Kind of disrespectful to lump Williams and Te’o in with an alleged POS criminal like JussieSmollett. Williams exaggerated. Te’o may have been scammed. Smollett allegedly attempted to start a race war. If true, then he is nothing more than a modern-day Charles Manson. LockHimUp
Lying. The very reason you have zero credibility.
AP is short for ass paper. Because thats all its worth. Bending the truth...lmao gtfo
Bending news!
You forgot Hillary and her infamous landing in Bosnia
Lying! Not bending the truth you liberal hack!
What in the hell does it mean to 'bend the truth?' What kind of weasel double speak is that?
Oh so when lefties lie it’s called bending the truth. Good to know
'Bending the truth'? Uh-h, do you mean lying to our face? FakeNewsMedia
You misspelled 'Lying'
THIS is exactly why media is labeled fake news!
Excuse me, but to a normal person that's called LYING!!!
You spelled LYING wrong
Bending? Really? Orchestrating a complete lie that causes police and FBI to spend tens of thousands $ of taxpayers' money investigating, then doubling down on the lie even after overwhelming evidence shows the truth? APhacks
You mean lying or faking major events.
Lying.
So now it's 'Bending the Truth'? My mother always called it a LIE & we got or asses beat for it. Just another example of why the FakeNewsMedia is the EnemyofthePEOPLE
He mailed himself a threatening letter. He hired two dudes to beat him up, pour bleach on him, & throw a noose around his neck. He filed a false police report blaming Trump supporters. That’s called LYING..quite a lot more than “bending” the truth!
Your news organization bends the truth..forget it you just flat out lie and make shit up... and Te'o was an actual victim.
Bending? Nice way to try to bend the truth!
Oh, so that's what lying is called now?
Hey AP...take a look at the below comments. Do you notice a pattern? Your attempt at word play failed, and you have exposed yourselves, yet again, as a disingenuous news source. One, meaning me, might even say that your news is beyond FAKE, It is TOXIC. You are TOXIC NEWS.
How is it bending the truth? Bending implies there was some truth? I caught a fish that was 15lbs (really 1lb). These are lies.
Accused of lying... LYING!
'Bending the truth' ... They LIE, inclusive Jussie Smollett is a despicable act of TERRORISM. Because this sick hater man could originate an scale of agression against MAGA supporters. ... Bending --- For this kind of talking points, make up the Truth... YOU ARE FAKE NEWS
FakeNewsMedia ALERT! It was not bending the truth---It was LYING!
The AP needs to stay factual. Bending the truth is lying. Words matter AP.
He’s going to do a lot of bending (over) in prison. He LIED. To bend is not synonymous with To lie.
Manti Te'o!!! Manti Te'o did not fake a hate crime then go on national TV and lie repeatedly about it. He was a victim of a cruel hoax, you useless pack of absolute cocknozzles.
Lies.
HEY FAKE NEWS AP YOU SPELLED LYING WRONG this is why we call you the ENEMEDIA ..the enemy of the American people , keep giving cover to them as their propaganda wh0res....... we are awake

Bending? No bald faced lying! Redroadmaster
It's called lying.
Seriously? “Bending the truth?” That’s what it’s called now? Funny I was raise that these people are liars and frauds, but obviously you think that they are just another “victim”. hypocrisy
Ha ha ha..”bending the truth.”
Bending the truth? Complete lies!
Bending the truth is telling your pal you'll be there in 5 when you know your at least 10 minutes away. This was staging a crime that innocent people could have went to prison for, all to Stoke racial tensions even further. What this cretin did could have cost lives.
Back in my day this was called LYING!! You people have earned the nickname FAKENEWS because you lie about everything everyday with frightening ease
Bending the truth? Cold hard facts prove the lies. The word is lying.
'Bending the truth' lol! Obama also 'bent the truth' when he said you could keep your doctor? The media has brainwashed liberals to the point that blatant lies are acceptable as long as they're told by liberals. That's the difference, all others see the lies for what they are.
Sharpton.. start there in league with Kamala Harris and Smollett to coordinate the launch of her Anti Lynching bill.. same timeline same verbiage You will never convince me or half of America she and Sharpton Smollett were not in this together
You’ve lost your journalistic way, . sad
There was no bending of anything, it was a complete and utter lie from start to finish, about like his acting career now.
Te'o lied about having a girlfriend, not a hate crime, get a grip ap!
Bending the truth?
Two of the three didn't commit a felony when they lied.
Bending the truth? You’re talking about the hoax he completely made up and was arrested for? Which part was the truth he bent?
“Bending” Please explain what truth was “bent”. This was 100% fabricated.
Bending the truth? It was an outright hoax.
It’s also “bending the truth” to call a legit news organization.
Lol. What a crock.
Bending the truth...
Bending?! How about blatant lying?!
You need to start with some truth in order to bend it.
BENDING THE TRUTH? REALLY You guys wonder why you’re referred to as the fake news Pretending to be the victim of a hate crime, filing a false police report, going on nationalTV and playing the victim is NOT BENDING THE TRUTH! Pathetic
Exactly what was the truth Smollett bent? I’m missing it....
Bending the truth? Seriously Bending the truth would be saying it was a Subway sandwich when it was actually a Firehouse sub! What those you have listed did was LIE - nothing less!!!
AP lies along with the marxist race baiters trying to start helter skelter. during the purge, reporters go first.
You should really read conservative news. They’ve already done several more detailed and complete stories of left wing hoaxes made possible by left ...err MSM incompetence
“Bending the truth.” FakeNews
Bending? No such thing. It is called lying.
“Bending the truth” This why the American people call you fakenews
Bending? How bout breaking.. the law
The medis are going defend Jussie Smollett because he hates President Trump just like they do!
The AP is 'bending the Truth'
Here are a few 'truth benders' for you. (Thread)
Bending the truth is what you do when your wife asks you if her dress makes her butt look big. No one gets hurt. What this POS did was lie to demonize an entire group of people.
You mispelled lying.
Bending the truth? It was a flat out lie!
It's called LYING!
'Banding the truth'?!?!?!?! It was a completely staged hoax meant to disparage millions of people of a different race and worldview. That's a premeditated HATE CRIME - not 'bending the truth'!!!!!
Pathetic. Why are you 'blending' names that dont go together. FakeNews
'Bending the the truth' ? Oh, now that's rich. The correct word is LYING.
WTH is wrong with you people in the media? You get called out for propaganda and lies and never skip a beat. You are literally standing in a hole and shoveling dirt on top of your head. What these people did was LIE! They didn’t bend shit, they broke it.
You're just abandoning all pretense aren't you? 'Bending'? I know you really, really wanted the lies Smollett told to police (a felony) to be the truth, but you're not supposed to let it show. Hacks.
There's bending the truth and then blatant lying. The press apparently doesn't know the difference. Just one of the reasons we can't trust the media. If it serves their narrative they don't mind flat out lying, or as they call it 'bending the truth'.
Bending? So is that what MSM does too, ON A DAILY BASIS?
Once again, the media is lying about a story. These stories are apples and oranges...no comparison.
The national media is the Democrat Party example no. 854,622.
No it’s LYING!! Truth does not bend!!
It didn't happen what did he bend? Lol. Typical b.s.
SandraYozipovic Bending the truth!? How about outright lying!!
”Bending the truth” is what you lot do daily. What you’re talking about here is called ”lying”.
Bending the truth? Try lying 🤥
Hey AP it's called lying not bending the truth, you know what you do daily, lie!
The dude played out an elaborate hoax, fabricated evidence, lied to police and the entire nation and AP calls it “bending the truth” If everything is a lie what truth did he bend? AP showing us an example of social engineering not journalism.
Bending the truth is known as lying.
“BendIf the truth” Just here for the ratio.
BEND? What in the actual hell? A new low for AP. Even tho they hit it every day. Remember you called it a crime and didn't even use 'alleged' now you're using bend to defend? 🤦
Bending the truth? I think it's called lying. Whomever wrote this tweet should probably start learning to code.
Bending the truth? Lying 🤥
I love word play.....bend truth....lie.....
JussieSmollett LIED! Plain and simple. He didn't 'bend the truth'. Obamerica is getting way out of control.
I have nothing against his ethnicity. Hate no matter what the pigment of our skin, is division of our country.
Why make celebrities the focus? How about a story chronicling all the fake hate crimes blamed on Trump supporters? There have been a ton, in case you haven’t been paying attention.
'Bending the truth'.. is that what you liberals call LIES? FakeNews Snowflakes
There's no bending or flexing the truth here. Pure and simple, it's just straight out LYING! Get your facts right AP.
This headline is a perfect example of why we call the FakeNewsMedia the EnemyOfThePeople
Please keep it up.. This is WhyTrumpWon Trump2020
A premeditated fake attack with the intention of blaming a group of people based on political views is not bending the truth, it is fully, knowingly perpetuating a hoax designed to do damage to society.
HA! 'Bending' the truth...just like y'all do with calling the video of a conservative being pinched in the face an 'alleged' attack... And you wonder why we call you FakeNews...
Bending the truth? That democratic idiot lied. Could have had violent consequences. Stop downplaying it
Bending the truth even a little breaks it into a lie.
Not just those listed look at the 93% negative articles. Nothing says FAKE NEWS better.
AP is truly the EnemyOfThePeople
It's called lying
Bending the Truth? They would not know what is the truth, if the truth bite them on their nose..They LIED, PERIOD. Trump2020
We call it lying🙄
Bending the truth? Are u serious? And you wonder why you are called FAKENEWS . These gentleman all LIED. Start to finish.
Bending the truth ? Really ? This was a well thought out and elaborate hoax. JailForJussie JussieSmollettHoax
How old is the person who wrote this? You don’t “bend the truth”!
Bending. Once again you drag the journalism profession in the dirt. So sad. It will leave a mark, for sure.
“Bending”?!?!? It’s called “Lying”
“Bending the truth” good lord you’ve sunk to an even lower low🤦🏻♀️
You can only bend the truth if there is truth involved. Nothing Smollett said was true.
You are FakeNews
None of these examples are comparable to what Jussie did. I call BS.
How stupid do you think people are? This is flat out lying!
I can’t figure out why the media’s reputation is shit
Bending the truth? Really? Bending the truth insinuates that there was at least some element of truth in what he said. There wasn’t. Just like most of what you idiots print.
They LIED. And you are lying by using the term “bending the truth”.
Lmao bending
Inventing a fake story is not ‘bending’ the truth.
'Bending' news? I think even the AP would prefer to he known by their real 'tag': 'Breaking' news....that is what they claim to do, afterall. I tend to agree, albeit from from an entirely different perspective...
I was told I could keep my doctor.
'Bending the truth?' TRUTH? These were out and out, bald-faced LIES!!! There was ZERO percent of truth involved AT ALL!!!! You are FakeNews. You keep proving it over and over again.
Bending? BENDING. Bending the truth. AP clowns sitting around like: 'how can we soften this so the perpetrators and their fans feelings don't get hurt?' You call yourselves journalists.
If anyone knows how to bend the truth it's the MSM.
Lying....commuting multiple felonies... Same thing according to the hacks at AP.
Are you kidding me? 'Bending'?
That was a shitty incomplete list.
You forgot to add to your list. FYI, what fakenews calls bending the truth the rest of the world calls lying.
Not sure how you got “bending the truth” from Jussie staging and faking the entire attack to paint two white men as the perpetrators even though it was all fake and the two “white” men were actually black.
LMAO So you're saying Jussie is 'bending the truth' And you wonder were the term 'fake news' comes from.
Bending the truth... really? Lol - but Trump is liar... jussie bent the truth. You people need help!
Personal responsibility is dying and the press is leading the charge.
Remove Manti Teo from this story , AP. He should not be mentioned in the same sentence as JussieSmollett . This is not journalism, it’s Disgraceful
Bending the truth? Is that leftist for lying?
“ bending” my arse. Flat out LYING!
Bending the truth? That’s a snowflake way of saying they intentionally and purposely LIED and DECEIVED people
'*bending* the truth'?
FakeNews You are FakeNews
Neither of the other two lies are even in the same stratosphere as the scumbaggery committed by Smollett! He betrayed the black community! The gay community! Even the liberal community! All in attempts to slander and offend half the country!
Bending the truth? Is that what you do? Because Jussie Smollett BROKE the law....he lied to police, mislead the public, and made fools of everyone who bought his garbage.....He needs to be locked up as a deterrent to others so that REAL victims get the help they deserve...MAGA
You actually have to start with the truth to bend it. Please show me what in his story has any truth to it?
Mailing suspicious powder to a studio is a tad more than “bending”
“Bending the truth” is now the ’s way of describing flat out lying?
One of these things is NOT like the others. JussieSmollett Lied BrianWilliams Lied MantiTeo WasDuped
Holy shit! Did you really just use the term 'bending the truth' to describe someone that faked a hate crime then made parallels to a victim of catfishing? Delete your account, hacks.
Hiring people to create a fake hate crime is just bending the truth ?
“Bending” the truth-really? Sometimes I shave a pound or 2 off when telling my weight- that’s “bending” the truth. Orchestrating an elaborate hate crime against yourself,reporting it to the police then going on national TV to claim victim status-that’s annihilation of the truth
Just here for the ratio.
How on earth was there any truth in here to be bent? This was a straight-up lie! Bent? Are you kidding?
Bending?...made up a total hoax from scratch...not bending truth, criminal conspiracy
Jussie is just another race pimp trying to cash in.
Bend? More veryfakenews FakeNews FactsMatter
Bending the truth is what you're doing right now. Smollett committed a serious crime and lied about it. The other two are just immoral idiots, which is ironic for people representing a group that speaks so much about moral values.
No, he lied
Brian Williams bent the truth Manti Teo was catfished Smollet flat out lied
Jussie Smollet bent the truth Journalism at its finest!
Now do realDonaldTrump
Bending?!? Your liberal bias is showing.
Lol, y'all tried it
”Bending the truth”? It's called lying.
Words cannot adequately express how grotesque and pathetic ap’s social media is.
I have feeling that there is more to this story. The AP's commentary is a crap white wash and they know it.
It’s desperation ahead of THE STORM
Bending the truth? This sack-o-💩 committed a felony...
Blending the truth! 😂😂😂😂😂 Thats an odd way to spin lying. And you guys get mad when we call you fake news

Benning? You need to go back to English class. They out right lied.
AP, 'bending' the definition of 'lying'
'bending'? What is the truth that Smollett bent? Where was Te'os girlfriend? Thats not bending truth, thats ☆Lying. Ill give Williams a pass for now, I think he was in a helicopter once.
Bending? Liars !
You spelled LYING wrong!
Just stop. He needs to go to jail for trying to make 63 million Trump supporters look like racist, homophobic, idiots. Which we are not. 😔
faking a hate crime is a little more than simply 'bending the truth'
Bend!!! He did not bend it! He absolutely lied!
How are you not in hell yet? Bend that truth!
They lied like a rug and you wanna call it bending? JFC...
Bending the truth? BENDING THE TRUTH Bending the truth is saying you stopped at a stop sign when you only paused. THIS is outright, blatant, CRIMINAL LYING. This idiot could’ve set race relations back farther than the DNC ever dreamed! Bending my ass! It’s just reprehensible.
James Frey’s book was really good. It may be a work of fiction but it is good. This really is a eye opening list. Wow!
“Bending” He owes 60M trump supporters an apology, the CPD & the Illinois taxpayers like me who are paying for his made-up HOAX! I purposely left out Fake News orgs like yours because WE are the news now! DigitalSoldiers QArmy
Bending the truth is one way to put it. Snapping it in half is another...

The verb is lying not bending
You spelled lying wrong.
bending the truth
Bending? Yeah, shit like this is why you are the enemy of the people.

'Bending the truth'. Wow. Seriously. The AP calls what Jussie Smollett did.....'bending the truth'.
Bending the truth?! WHAT TRUTH?
Bending? 😂😂😂😂😂 'Thou shalt not bend'
I guess this ratio is 'slightly' out of the norm too? Gtfo.
How do you bring Manti Te’o into this.... why do you guys HAVE to always make it a point to post something on a daily basis that completely destroys your credibility all for the sake of getting a few thousand likes? fake news fake news fake news.
You guys just made “bending” a thing. Good grief.
Do your editors even proof read this stuff before they allow you to publish garbage like this?
One is not like the others
Manti Te’o didn’t bend the truth.. he was innocent

“Accused of bending the truth”
Bending? Are you even a news org anymore?

Bending fakenews. Continues... fakejournalist fakeactor fakemsm
“Bending the truth”? That’s one way to describe completely fabricating a hate crime and continuing to lie about it, I guess. 🙄
What are you talking about? Manti Teo was the dupEE.

And the media wonders why people view them as a joke
“Bending.” “Akshually he’s really just like Manti T’eo”
‘Bending’ WTF are you talking about, it’s called a lie, untruthful, a fabrication. Learn how to report the facts, or learn another unnamed skill.
Otherwise known as Lying. AP you're a joke.
Try breaking the truth.

Bending the truth. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
How many of these faked a crime though? One of these things is not like the others
And AP bending the truth as to Manti Te'o. should be ABOVE LYING and or BENDING THE TRUTH! Manti Te`o didn't lie nor bend the truth, he was the actual victim. You owe Manti Te`o a retraction and apology ASAP!
AP, i typically love your news over the others, but that’s an extreme reach
Bending the truth?
One of these things is not like the others...
Liars lying about lies
Yikes! Gaslighting
This is a bad headline and as a major news source you should be embarrassed.
Bending the truth isn’t a class 4 felony you dolts.
BENDING?! Someone needs to get woke.
“Bending,” as in allegedly “committing a felony of making a false police report.”
Bending the truth, ffs. It's called lying.
Ah yes Brian Williams, didn't he lie about seeing dead bodies floating just outside his hotel room during Kartrina, and getting shot down in a helicopter in Iraq, etc etc? Hell, you can see him 'bending' the truth every night in his msnbc show. maddow foxnews MZHemingway
Felony catfishing victim?
How is Manti Te'o lumped in here? He was a victim of a scam, not the scammer.
'bending' You mean roll over it with a cement truck
Bending the truth? Congrats to whomever has decided to kill the ap brand - looks like nobody on the inside is going to object to your plan.
Lol, yes 'bending the truth.' Good job, AP. Really good job. I can't imagine why people hate journalists.
Smollett bent the truth? He was going to sign a complaint against innocent people
More like he bent the truth over and anal fucked it
'Bending' EnemyOfThePeople
Is this a parody account?
Terrible writing. No truth to Smollett’s story, no bending. Te’o was lied to. 1/3 is not good.
HaHaHaHaHaHa!!! “bending” HaHaHaHaHaHa!!!
One of these is not like the others...
This headline doesn't just bend the truth. It hypocritically blasts it to smithereens. BendingTheTruth
You misspelled “lying.”
Add the AP to that list.
Is it any coincidence they’re all Democrats?
How in the world does a news publication lump Manti Teo with Jussie Smollett? One got catfished and the other invented an assault and filed a fake police report
Jussie Smollett 'bending the truth '? The media really is despicable.
Please show the truth in Jussie’s event.
Delete this. Manti Te’o was catfished. He didn’t fake a hate crime and then commit a felony by filing a false police report.
Once upon a time tried to report honestly. Now they not only bend the truth; they lie!
Ap bends the news again
Always Pandering....
You are proving that you are an Enemy of the People.
Bending the truth Oh my Goodness!!
I can't believe that became THIRD WORLD COUNTRY JOURNALIST!!!👎👎👎
bending the truth ---------- LMAO It's called lying.
“Bending?”
Bending the truth? This is flat out blatant lies. This is not bending the truth.
Bending the truth... the new AP for fuking liars...😂😂😂
Uhm. What truth did Smollett 'bend'? That's Absolutely Pathetic.
*bend the truth* hahahaha 🤦🏻♀️
“BENDING?” It’s called LYING.
Just remember JussieSmollett anything happens to any of us Trump supporters because of your hoax will have consequences in the courts. You can take your fake drug problem and shove it. Done with you Oh, by the way, do something about that voice. How are you even an actor
I think the word you're looking for is... Lie: noun - a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood.
karasoth The word you thinking of is lie. They're liars. They were lying.
'bending the truth.' 🙄 I think there might be a more succinct word for that...
This is why yall are the enemy of the people
They outright lied.
Bending the truth or flat out lying?
“bending” 😐😐😐 You’re a joke. Delete your account.
Bending?
Te’o was duped. Different situation entirely.
This needs to be corrected. Manti Teo was a victim of a hoax, not the perpetrator. Please correct that and apologize for insulting this good man. He deserves better.
Pretty hacky
IndieArtSouth Say what you will about the other two, Smollett's game could have given us more racial strife and deaths.
'Bending the truth'? Lying. Call it what it is.
“Bending the truth” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And the MSM wonders why we have such a low opinion of them! FakeNewsMedia
Uhm, guys, I believe the correct term or phrase y'all are looking for is 'lying', not 'bending the truth'.
“Bending the truth” give me a damn break.
'bending'
And they wonder why folks don't trust the media .....
How. About. Trump
Jussie committed a hate crime very purposefully. Willing to send 2 innocent strangers to prison...prosecute him to full extent!!!
It’s called lying. And it’s wrong. Bend the truth? Innocent people could have been jailed.
Pfffthaaaaaa AP is garbage again today
one of these things is not like the others
Hey, ...you’re full of shiznit with this tweet. It’s called lies. You can’t polish these turds.
Why is Manti Teo included? He was the one lied to.
Bending the truth? It’s flat out lies!!! Trump thinks is ok!
Awe, ap, using such PC language. Bending the truth, instead of, FAKE HATE CRIME, or otherwise a lie. *golf clap*
None of these example “bent” the truth. They outright lied!
AP what happened to you ?
I think you meant lying. FakeNews
It's called lying to police, a felony.
“Bending the truth?” Smollet “bent” the truth? 😂😂🤣🤣
Lying is not 'bending.'
'bending the truth'? Oh, , never stop being you. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bending the truth and orchestrating an elaborate hoax aren’t the same thing.
I love our Guardians of the 1st Ammendment You are the unsung heroes, the beacon of light that guides us through the era of Trump Lol, ha HA HAHA HAHA actually the opposite. You Are Pathetic Hacks - Journalism Is Dead
Bending the truth? Wow. Seriously?
Bending the truth y'all. Brilliant.
'Bending'......fakenews
“Bending”? “Truth”? FakeNewsAP Wow how much lower in credibility you have to go? JussieHoax Oscars2019 FakeHateCrimes FabricatedOutrage
Yes, that was one of Smollett's charges 'bending the truth to police' 🙄
“Bending” The MSM is a corrupt dumpster fire of fake news
“Bending the truth”?!?
It’s called LYING.
Bending the teuth? WTF is wrong with you. Pu$$y Smollett LIED. He pushed a HATE CRIME. The hypocrisy of the left is SICKENING. LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder
Are you really trying to make excuses for Smollett? Pathetic. His hoax incited hate and cost tax payers much in law man hours. You continue to show journalism has been replaced by opinion and agenda.
TryConservatism “Bending” the truth He. Boldly. Lied. 🤥
BENDING THE TRUTH!?!? I'ts called lying!!!
Exhibit A of why the media is a huge part of the problem. BENDING the truth?
Ryan Lochte...was that long ago.
'Bending' the truth requires stretching a truthful story. Jussie made this up from the ground up. This isn't bending of truth...
I think all purposely lied for personal gain. But cool.
Bending the truth? You mean LYING. Journalism is dead.
Probably want to throw GrannyTransparency HillaryClinton into that esteemed lineup as well...
Wow, a college kid getting catfished in public is the same as two sociopaths? How inflammatory! Do better .
Bending?!!! It's 'completely making up lies!
Trump, he still lying
Uber made faking this crime necessary.
Teo was a victim you worthless news outlet! Do some research before trying to defame someone. Totally irresponsible.
Just here for the ratio . . .
Bending the truth? How about FABRICATING LIES?
Bending the truth......journalist at its finest.
The AP should be on the list for spreading HATE FAKE NEWS! Let’s be real, AP is liberal news outlet! NEVER positive news about Trump!
The word is LYING!
Bending!
Bending He’s made it up, creating a premeditated scenario to blame a group of people for a crime. That’s not bending the truth, that is deception and a lie. Great journalism as usual... 🙄
Smollett and Williams lied. Teo got catfished. Do your homework AP. Journalism isn't that tough when you do it right
Bending the truth? They are out right liars.
Bending the truth is what a complete and utter lie/hoax is called these days? what a joke
So what Jussie Smollett did was 'bending the truth'? This is why AP is fake news.
What a bull shit headline. Enemy of the people!
The word your looking for is “lying”
Bending the truth.. Yeah.
You’re bent
' bending the truth'? How about an outright lie. Show some courage and call it what it is. JussieSmollett diverted police resources to what the Chicago police described as a staged fake hate crime. If true, he has personally made it rougher for those suffering actual hate crimes
Ummm, uh think the 'writers' at AP never watched that Sesame Street skit, 'One of these things is not like the others. One of these things shouldn't belong....' so much stupiding, so much. Maybe actually act like the press should, even if you have to fake it.
'Bending'? Your language usage is truly poor for an AP employee. They must be really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
You guys are in the same boat with CNN, MSNBC, WaPo, etc these days. Utter trash.
If I was was Manti Te’o, I would sue the for this ridiculous slander.
Getting catfished is not the same as a hate crime. One of AOC’s Green Deal Kids must of wrote this
You mean lying?
Shame on you for including an actual catfish victim in your list of liars! retractiondemanded
probably should include HillaryClinton numerous lies but the big one is where she supposedly was under sniper fire in Bosnia which of course never happened! But Manti Te’o was a hoax on him so not great reporting on your staff either
Bending the truth? They’re LIARS!!!!
Bending the truth eh? HE FUCKING LIED 😂
'bending'
CNN, washingtonpost, nytimes and now the : here's a look at Media outlets accused of bending the truth.
Bending v. Hoaxing. I think the A.P. has lost it's dictionary again.
Do what? AP, Smollett is accused of one felony, which is sure to become more than one in federal court. He’s not accused of “bending the truth”.
He LIED about the letter. He LIED to the Police about the attack. He LIED to the media and the public in a national interview. He LIED to the police in 2007 when arrested for a DUI. He still has FBI/USPS Mail to deal with. You get the 'Understatement of the Year' award!! 🤣🤣🤣
Who the hell wrote this headline? Idiots.
You misspelled 'lying'.
'Bending the truth.' You freaking slime.
Jussie Smollett and truth shouldn’t be said in the same sentence. What truth did he bend exactly? He not only could of put innocent men behind bars through his tax money wasting hoax, but he tried to get his own brother in trouble for a DUI he committed. Complete trash of a human
Take them off the worshipped pedestal. The singer sing, the athlete perform and the actor act, after that? Well we are not interested. This joker? Well there's the unemployment line.
Noticed u named conservative BillOReilly from his time at CBS 40 yrs ago. FactCheck He never said he was ‘on’ Falkland Islands. He was covering it & said he was ‘in’ conflict—and he was. You forgot HillaryClinton LYING abt landing under sniper fire in Bosnia. She was sleepy.
Lol “bending”, that shit broke.
Lol Manti Te’o was just legit stupid.
He is a liar not a “bender” Good Lord
Bending the truth! He premeditated a gay racial hate crime implemented by Trump supporters &lied about it to local police,media and the FBI. KamalaHarris is very much involved and you don’t report that because it doesn’t fit your narrative. Your reporting is trash like cnnbrk
absolutely unfair and uniformed to compare Smollett to Te’o.
Manti Te'o made-up a girlfriend. Idiot. Brian Williams embellished his resume. Untrustworthy. Smollett tore the country apart with a felony false police report. It was NOT 'bending the truth'. It was dangerous. should be ashamed of this head.
One committed a felony. JussieSmollettHoax
One committee a felony!!!! JussieSmollettHoax
How about news organizations like who publish names and addresses of people they disagree with? BendingTheTruth
Bending?
Terrible comparison...
you might be onto something
Felony Charged With Hoax Hate Crime that was actually a Hate Crime on MAGA Red Hat Trump Supporters with False Racism
This fool has done a disservice to both the Black & LBGT communities, if this all a lie! There's enough difficulty, stigma & issues around coming forward with abuse, but does also bring to light the difficult, harmful, life-destroying issues of the falsely accused, too! 🤯😡😥
Wow. Te’o is nowhere close to the other two. What wrote that headline?
What about Rachel Dolezal the NAACP fake?
Bending the truth? A euphemism for “lying.”
I didn’t commit murder (I did) and I was in Tennessee once (I wasn’t) yes are both incidents of “bending the truth” I suppose.
These are the stories that matter
Thing is, it was the Media who created this show, you all though, hey, that's a good peek in the audience, it had everything, theatricality, drama and it was tackling both sides, homosexuality and race. Oooh it was a scoop, now you turn to the public, whom you feed.
Once again the AP shows how useless it’s become.. The internet has destroyed the AP..
ESPNHockey19 “Bending the truth”?!! How about hiring thugs to help you stage an event you will later claim to be a hate crime in order to save what’s left of your 15 minutes...
Bending the truth? How about good, honest English: liars.
Bending the truth? Try Jussie broke the law
You call that 'bending'?
This is a really stupid article. What’s the point? Some of these are just harmless exaggerations. Why are you recycling these older stories? Disappointing.
Forgetting to mention you paid the dudes to put a noose around your neck is not bending the truth.
My father called it 'stretching' the truth. Regardless of how you say it lying is still lying and it's wrong in Smollett's case it was designed to not only get pity but to exact pain on a different race. dontjussieme
Aka flat out lying.
What is the “truth” that was bent? I am pretty sure he was “accused of committing a felony”. A $100k bond seems steep for bending the truth. I guess the is for the very woke crowd.
Bending the truth is not a felony...
Manti was lied TO, right? There's no proof he lied unless I missed something. He was catfished.
'Bending the truth'. Lying. There, fixed it for you .
Manti Te'o was innocent you f’ing toolbags.
“Bend the truth”. Right.
“Bending the truth.”
delet
Reporting a fake hate crime now equals rhetorical yoga? The future looks more bleak every single day. why2019
Ratio party? Ratio party!
So perpetrating a hate crime and lying to law enforcement is now bending the truth? You may want to check your work and start over.
hold the f**k up. Are you honestly comparing Manti Te'o' s imaginary girlfriend to jussiesmollett faking a hate crime and being willing innocent people to jail?
'Bending' the truth and making up shit is now the same per AP. Great...
How does the Manti Te’o or even the Brian Williams examples even come close to what Smollett did? Are you insane?
Bending?
So you’re equating a hate crime to getting catfished? Yikes.
So I see the AP is jumping on the Left's 'what Smollett did wasn't all that bad' bandwagon.
'accused of bending the truth'... That must be journo lingo for 'who fucking lied big time'.
Ah yes because a nfl player getting taken advantage of by a hoax is exactly the same as a tv star staging his own beating/lynching & blaming it on 2 white maga hat wearing Trump supporters. Bending the truth, wtf is wrong with you AP? Riots could've ensued over Jussies LIES.
JussieSmollett didn’t “bend the truth” he made-up a complete fabrication and even bloody REHEARSED IT!!!
Bending? Ah hahahaha
Accused? Really?
Bending?
“Bending the truth”? There was NO truth to their stories. That’s called a lie.
Bending?
So now perpetuating a false hate crime, lying to the world, sowing division, taking up precious law enforcement resources in a city with a high murder rate and being willing to testify against innocent people is bending the truth? Got it. Do better!
and you wonder why Trump keeps saying fake news. They LIED.
You mean lying.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lies. Lies. Mo Lies.
You forgot some: realDonaldTrump KellyannePolls SarahHuckabee
'Bending the truth' ? Are you insane?
Don't forget HillaryClinton running thru gunfire
How do you even make that comparison w/Manti?. Piss off
Lying.
Wow. How ridiculous. If concocting an elaborate con job is 'bending the truth,' then I'd hate to think what you'd consider 'criminal conduct.'
Bending the truth? Fabricating. Lying.
Bending? LOL. AP is also FakeNews
Te’o being catfished is a far far stretch from those liars.
The only bending here is your mental gymnastics to try and fit the narrative.
fakenews. How about Hilary and sniper fire. assholes. letitgo
They bloody well LIED! Shame on you, , shame!
“Bending the truth”? How about committing their own hate crime, for profit!
Uh, AP? Does Ryan 'white privilege' Lochte in Rio/2016 Olympics ring a bell?
Don’t let facts get in your way JournalismIsDead
Bending the truth? 😂😂
aaprojr seriously?
That's some Ministry of Truth level obfuscation, AP.
So irresponsible to put Te’o in there - unbelievable! Writer should be fired
Bending the truth? 😂😂😂
Bending the truth? Smollett committed a crime that cost probably thousands of dollars. Brian Williams is a liar.
'I fought the f*** back, I'm the gay Tupac. I'm not fully healed yet, but I'm going to. I'm going to stand strong with you all. I had to be here tonight. I couldn't let those motherf***ers win. I will always stand for love. I will only stand for love.' BS
“Bending” 😂😂😂
Lying only applies to we conservatives, huh? Amazing stuff!
Well, YellowJournalism.
'I dodged sniper fire in Bosnia.' 'If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Am I doing this right?
You call this bending the truth? After making bail yesterday he went back to EmpireFox set and told his colleagues I'm sorry for everything I'm innocent. I swear I didn't do it. Jussie Smollett FULL Interview on attack by 2 MAGA White Supremacist at 2am
Bending the truth!!!
You, AP, could stop 'blending' truth any day niw.!
AP internal memo... 'lying through your lying lie hole' will now be known as 'bending the truth'. Please continue as you were.
A national race hoax to incite hate is bending the truth
“Bending the truth?” Sorta like “The AP is kinda full of sh*t BUT only on days that end in “Y.” Thank you for proving YOU “bend the truth” aka FakeNews
BENDING THE TRUTH......ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE TRUMP'S 'FAKE NEWS' CLAIMS EASIER WHO THE HELL IS IN CHARGE OF YOUR TWEETS........ YOU GUYS ARE GOD DAMN CRAZY
New word for the left “bending”
Lying...call it what it is. They didn't 'bend the truth'...they lied.
Don't forget DanRather. He's a master Truth Bender.
They LIED!
Wow, nothing like victimizing the naive victim
Just here for the RaySheOwe
Nice euphemism
Bending the truth, or lying sacks of shit?
pathetically weak piece.
'bending the truth' you're a reporter? an objective journalist?
*lying
Bending the truth, most people call that lying
Left Wing Propaganda strikes again BENDING........... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And don't forget Ryan Lochte 🙄
Bending the truth? You lump JussieSmollett with Manti Teo? Not even close to the same thing but nice attempt to water down what jussie did. He demonstrated his own racism and committed a crime. Bend the truth. 🤣🤣🤣
So much bending. Ratio...
Who ever wrote this tweet should be in a different line of work. sosad
'Bending?' What is your definition of a lie? Or a crime?
Lying. The word is LYING.
Didn’t really expect anything less from .
Bending the truth also commonly know as lying
'bending'
Sniffing ink again?
“Bending the truth?” Asinine. Quit carrying water for criminals.
Sad
The AP has been normalizing Fake News for a long time, this is par for the course.
Ah The deflecting and providing false equations!!! Great Job! JussieSmollett it appears pre-meditated a Hoax Hate Crime not the same as anything you put on your list.....
Interesting choice of words here given what I've seen said about some others like the President.
drewpayment you see this shit?!
He screwed up now pay the price
See, they they all fake elaborate hate crimes...oh, wait, this is AP, news for Demwits. 🙄
'bending the truth' isn't equal to lying to start a race-riot and attacks on innocent white people and/or Trump supporters.
Yeah, that’s the ticket AP. 🤗🙄🤣
Wait, are you saying there was some truth to Smollett's claim, and he 'bent' it a little? WTAF? I hate to say it, but you may need to just go ahead and delete your account.
There is one central liar here. Let’s be clear. A racist hateful liar and lie.
*lying, there fixed it for you.
The only “bending of the truth” going on here is this ridiculous headline.
Bending?!?!?!?
BENDING? BENDING?!!!
BENDING?!?!?
Now Jussie is claiming to have a drug problem. He has now offended every group in America: black, white, gay, trump supporters, police, entertainers, politicians, nigerian's, lgbtq+, people battling addictions.
BENDING? Jesus Christ, WTF is wrong with you people?
Trump number one
Bending? It’s Lying.
Manti Teo?!? Really?! You people are hopeless
Nice ratio . Do better.
Jussie didn't 'bend' anything. He straight up lied.
Bending? You mean Pretzleing
Bending is one way to look at it 🤔
Plenty of athletes to choose from that lied. No need to trash one that was a victim of lies. Sloppy,
Steve Rannazzisi deserves to be on that list only difference is that he was successful in advancing his career thanks to playing the victim
Teo was lied to. He didn't lie
Seriously?
The irony of this tweet
'Bending the truth' lol. I know you dont want to use 'Liar' in the headline for some folks.
It’s called LYING!!
AP = FAP
Holy Shit you put Te’o name as a comparison.😂
Bending the truth!! Right under your brown noses are Trump, Cyclops Suckabee, Kelly Ann Conway, Sean Spicer, the GOP and all of Fox! Do them first!
Add politicians to the list
WTF is wrong with you? Can you not go a damn day without trying to carry water for left?
Bending the truth? THEY LIED.
Spelled “lying” wrong...
Is that the same as lying?
T’eo was catfished. Smollett faked a hate crime. How is that the same?
Bending the truth?! And you wonder why you’re called fake news. This dude straight up fabricated this story.
Fake and gay news
Manti Teo and Jussie Smollett aren’t even close to being on the same level here
“bending the truth” idiots
Smollett didn’t BEND the truth. He shattered into a million pieces.
Manti Te'o getting catfished vs an arrogant liberal trying to degrade Trump supporters .... according to AP is the same thing. Lara Logan just may be on to something.
Enemy of the people. Ugh.
Bending? And what truth? His truth? His truth was a flat out lie. Gosh anyone can be a journo these days I see.
Bending the truth Really Which part was the truth that Smollett bent?
Bend or Lie?
Did you guys forget Trump? He lies at least 6 times per rally!!!
BENDING THE TRUTH?!? This was a pure fabrication. The AP used to be a respected news organization
If by bending the truth you mean straight out pathologically lying.....then I’m all in. AP makes me laugh.
Great news work (insert sarcasm here), on being stupid. Another news source compromised to lighten the fact someone on the left fabricated a hoax using racism.
“Bending”. Try flat out lying
Oh man, I think you should revise the headline. Te'o was duped, he wasn't duping america like the rest.
Bending the truth? You mean making shit up and out right lying
What? Combining Manti Te’o as comparable to jussiesmollett is a despicable attempt to water down the premeditated crime Jussie engaged in. NO Comparison APPropaganda Please Delete this utter garbage post
Accused No they’re proving liars..... Tao may just be an idiot.
Fraudulently lying in order to fabricate a hate crime hoax is called 'bending the truth' if you hate Trump and America. Kick off your civil war. Let's end this.
Donald Trump...
AP: People who lie and commit crimes= bending the truth.* Also AP= anyone wearing a red hat is obviously guilty. * some restrictions may apply.Must be a member of the D protected class.
Get bent AP. Useless dinosaur.
Manti Te’o should sue the crap out of for this huge lie. Wouldn’t it be awesome if people started holding them accountable for things exactly like this and made them pay up. Fake news
“Bending”
Yes Yes. He lied. Like. You. Jane Austen lies falsified mortgage fraud falsified social security papers. Duplicated my feed took drugs under my name. Tried to keep my car title. Murdered my dog. Yes. You. Jail and more!!!!!! Boooone. Police!! They know you well go take pic and
Manti was taken advantage of and looked like a fool. The other faked a hate crime...These two do not even live in the same universe.
Te'o was scammed. You should be ashamed of yourselves connecting him to these other 2 liars.
Bending the truth? Come-on AP! He broke it, burnt it, and threw bleach all over it.
Terribly weak attempt to lump Williams and Te’o with Smollet for the purpose of normalizing his CRIME.
Kind of like how AP gets accused of bending the news.
Manti Te’o don’t deserve this. He’s a weirdo not a piece of garbage.
This Just In: Ted Bundy bends truth when he says 'I'm not interested in pretty girls'
Bending the truth!
“bending the truth?”
As Hillary did! You know when she lied in 08 about her 1996 Bosnian trip. 'I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.'
Bending? The forktard perpetrated a terrorist attack.
You can't bend something that never existed. Nice ratio btw.
That is stupid to put Manti in that group.
'Bending the truth' lol
Lazy journalism Teo was duped. Doesn’t belong on this list. Does anyone proof edit in journalism anymore ?
This wasn’t “bending the truth.” It appears this was very different.
How far back do you feel you need to reach to make your point AP? What a pathetic attempt at journalism.
Just here for the ratio. fakenews FakeNoose JussieLied
I have no idea whether what happened really happened or not. Either way, it is a very sad story. But just for a minute, stop, take a deep breath, and ask: How am I going to feel if tomorrow they catch someone and it IS true? Ask if your mea culpas will ever be enough.
Bending the truth? Seriously, ? This is why nobody respects journalists any longer. You bend the truth entirely too much.
If only the English language had a single word so 'journalists' didn't have to keep typing out 'bending the truth'. It would make things so much easier. Let's invent a new word that means 'not telling the truth' and help them out.
“Bending the truth”
Lol. ‘Bending’ 🤯🤣😂
Do you people ever wonder why nearly 70% of Americans think you are incapable of honesty?
You spelled 'lying' wrong.
As my mom used to say, 'This is why we can't have nice things.' (such as non-fake news.)
Bent?... like Bo bent this bat right?
It’s disingenuous to compare Manti lying about a girlfriend to what Smollett did. Wow
Trump misspells a word in a Tweet and the AP is like 'We award him eleventy billion Pinocchios for lying to the American people'. Smollett hires people to attack him, lies about it multiple times, AP: 'He bent the truth'.
The Te’o thing was totally different. He was naive and was lied to. He really thought he was “dating” a girl, but it ended up being a dude making everything up.
Come on. Someone at AP step up and explain how concocting a fake assault and then lying about it multiple times in national interviews is 'bending the truth'. There was ZERO truth to what Smollett was saying. Ridiculous nonsense, and you wonder why people can't stand the media?
BENDING THE TRUTH implies that there is some truth to the story. That is not the case with Smollett. It was an outright lie from the get go. Way to go on the euphemism, though. Top notch. Go ask for a raise, but don't go hiring people to fake beat you up to plead your case.
You mean Lying.... right?
AlexBC997 Lol “bending the truth”? 🤣Give me a break!
Lol bending the truth
Donald Trump at the top of the list.
Lying. The term is called lying.
Hey, anybody wanna take T'eo off that list right now! How about Bill Clinton? How about Donald Trump? How about a big fat AP APology for putting that poor guy on a list of low-life-lying-loosers...which he is most definitely not!!!
Do some real journalism , Te'o was a victim. Ridiculous you got that wrong.
Get bent.
Bending the truth? AP is biased garbage and doesn’t care who knows it. FU.
Bending. Bending? Oh FFS
'bending' ? Seriously? Everything about this was an orchestrated hoax. We can always count on the AP to manipulate the truth.
Remember kids, it's only a flat out lie if you are on the right. On the left, it's 'bending the truth'. At least according the the AP.
Staging a hate crime to get a pay raise? What? Does this make any sense? More like mental illness. Bye Felic i
Bend Or flat out lie
'Bending' the truth. Lol. Learn to code.
Why are y’all bringing up Manti Te’o Leave that poor boy alone.
'Bending' ...is not a synonym for 'complete fabrication'
Trump lies every single day of his life as POTUS yet the MAGAs give him a pass every time!!!
Manti T’eo? You have to be shitting me....
So much stupid in this tweet...
You bio says 'Great Journnalism.' you might want to try again because this is not.
Please don’t associate Brian Williams and manti teo , with a racist person who was ok with locking up two innocent Caucasian men. Like comparing a house cat to a lion
It’s not a felony to “bend” the truth c’mon AP .
Bending? C’mon, you think your audience is that dumb?
Wow!
Dude made up a fake attack. Bending 😂
To bend there would have to be 'some' truth
Bending? Bwhahahahaha!
He didn't bend the truth. He fucking lied.
'bending the truth' THAT RATIO! WAY TO FUCKING GO, AP! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
This is very very poorly done.
When you 'bend' the truth...we call that a LIE.
ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE
So straight up lying abt his lies now? Wtf
Don’t forget Donald Trump
You misspelled lying in regards to Williams and smollett. Why do so many mistrust the media?
Wow, your title sucks.
This. Is. AP.
Bending?!? How do you define lying? 😂
Bending the truth, bahahaha, you hilarious assholes. 8 inches, instead of 6 is bending the truth. A lie to drive a race war, that he was willing to allow people to go to jail for, if the police had arrested some white guys he was signing the complaint & jailing them for life
Te’o got duped. Dumb but nothing like the other two ..
Oh NOW you use the word “accused.” poundsand
Bending? Lying.
Manti Te’o was a *victim* FFS. Nice “journalism” by the AP no less. 🙄
Great reporting. Smollett and Teo are so similar. Yep. Good job
Bending?
What 'truth'? Are you trying to say that, yeah, Jussie was right in a way, people who wear MAGA hats do deserve to be abused, wrecked, and treated as nonpersons?
Just in for the ratio.
Don’t forget the guy with the really bad orange hair.
'bending the truth'. Wow, This is true journalism. NARRATOR: This is NOT journalism.
Bending? Um, no.
ap you're getting really bad at facts.
Jesus, AP. Smollett lied. There is no truth at all behind what he said and the accusations he made. This isn't a fib, or little white lie. It's a straight up fabrication. Be better AP.
Don't forget about the person in the white house...
Bending the truth. Such journalistic integrity. Learn to code. smollet SmollettHateHoax
Te’o was catfished. Not even close to Smollett FakeNews
Bending the truth!!!!! your joking right?
'Public Figures accused of Lying to the public' This is excluding the current President of The United States for some reason?
FakeNews
What about the president
Journalism in the USA is dead. AP is a disgrace. Delete your account.
Faked a hate crime, which is a hate crime against those he caused to be accused ! JussieSmollett didn’t bend truth. What the hell is wrong with your editors?
Morons, JussieSmollett Didn't Bend The Truth, He Outright Lied & Committed A Felony Hate Crime Against realDonaldTrump & 65 Million MAGA Americans! JussieSmollett Proves Once Again, Democrats Are The Rasict People! Looksy:
Remember Smollet was willing to testify against 2 people until he found out they were the people he paid to 'attack' him. Stop with the 'bending' BS
“Bending the truth”? Are you serious? They LIED and concocted HOAXES.
Bending the truth no you mean lying through your teeth period
'..BENDING THE TRUTH...' ?
semissourian Call it what it is flat ass lying you guys in the media know about that so I am sure you would like to reduce the impact as much as possible
This is why people say they don't trust the media. Stop hurting yourselves.
Attempting to marginalize lying because, well, that's what they do.
It is absolutely shameful to include Manti’s name here - just a kid who was catfished who happened to be an incredible football player. Do better.
Teo got hoaxed. The other two blatantly lied. 👆🏻 this is why majority think the media is a clown show
Yes, please remind MSNBC they still employ a chronic liar whose stock-and-trade is truth and accuracy.
Bending?
It was the check that got him.
Nope. Lie is what you're looking for
Bending the truth? You guys pick some really strange cases to carry the water for sometimes.
What the duck is wrong with you. Te’o was a legit victim of a con.
Outright lying is not 'bending'
trump. trump is the b grade celebrity who lies each and every day.
Bending the truth? BENDING? Do you like being called Fake News? Because this is what gets you called FakeNews
Trump tops the list.
FakeNews is calling lying and outright deception “bending the truth”. Bullshit. They lied and they did it for personal gain. In Smollett’s case, anyone who happened to be out that night would have been targeted and identified as an attacker. Is this journalism or ass covering?
Here for the ratio
Bending? The AP bends journalism
The word you're looking for is LYING.
nice try , to 'bend ' the truth you have to begin with at least a semblance of truth Smollett is an outright craven cowardly liar
You're just trying to put Brian Williams and Te'o in the same category as Smollett. They didn't cost the police department investigation money. Nor did they put the country on notice. No, Smollett is a scumbag in a class by himself.
Wait... what? BENDING? STOP. This isnt journalism.
'Bending the truth' requires starting with something true and 'bending' it. A complete falsification is not 'bending the truth' since it is not based on a truth.
Bending?
Hmm, you bigly missed a name on that list.
Hi, oh I’m just here for the raysch
get em
And now I’m done reading the AP...
add OJ to that list
'Bend'? He Wrote A Personal Check. Come ON.
You can’t be serious. Talk about bending the truth. Do you think your readers are stupid?
Just here for the ratio.
Bending the truth? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
This article is the only thing BENDING the truth.
just here for the ratio
Manti Te'o? 🤦♂️
Hackers hacking. Fake News. Propaganda. Goebbels
So being a victim of a hoax is 'bending the truth' and fabricating a hate crime is 'bending the truth?' How is a news organization so bad at language? Pathetic take.
Bending? No, it’s called lying. Straight up lying. Poor Manti Te’o he doesn’t deserve the be lumped in to this group. Do better.
Remove Manti Te'o from the list, and replace him with . . . . . . . (wait for it). . . . The Associated Press!
'Bending' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now do the media and their 'bending the truth'.
Get bent
You are stuck on stupid, . 🙄
'Bending?' Classic.
Bending the truth? Why do you guys deny being fake news when you proudly give example after example each and every day?
Uh really you get a gazillion fN Pinocchio’s idiots “ Bending” .WTF
Thats some spin. 🌪
Bent? Okay, and here's Joe Theismann bending his leg:
“Bending the truth” would suggest at least part of the story was true. It wasn’t. Say it with me: “He lied!” Look it up in Webster’s if you don’t know what lying is. FFS
Bending the truth? No he snapped, jumped on and then burned the truth
Teo? Huh
What?!?! Bending the truth?!?! Lol! It’s called lying.
Y’all forgot Ryan Locke
'Bending the truth' would have been adding the 'MAGA country' b.s. to an actual attack. This was a premeditated HOAX. An out and out lie. You delusional hacks.
Stalin, Hitler, Trump, and the Italian butcher down the street...just a few people accused of being genocidal maniacs. Like, what?
This is journalistic malpractice. It is sad to see how far the AP has fallen
You’re equating Manti Teo’s fake girlfriend story to this sociopath? Hey, guys remember when we counted on the AP for news? Back when we had nothing else and knew no better. DigitalRag
Incredibly sloppy and irresponsible journalism, AP. Comparing Smollett's actions to Te'o is a bit like equating a kid who shot up a school with one who jaywalked in front of one. Who the hell is approving these stories? My advice: Better to spend money on editors than attorneys.
'Bending' the truth? He lynched the truth and poured bleach on it.
I think you misspelled lying. Secondly, you may need a new thesaurus....
This is dumb.
'Bending the truth' you really are self-parody at this point but thank you for your contribution to TRUMP2020
HERE'S a look at a public figure known for bending the truth
I'm having trouble finding the law against bending the truth. Why was Jussie Smollett arrested again?
Te’o? The guy got catfished with people laughing at him nationwide. Why you bringing up old shit?
Wtf? Manti Teo? Get a life AP.
Smollett faked a hate crime and the AP calls it “bending the truth.” You guys are the worst.
ap trying to outratio esquire.
Bending the truth?! JussieSmollett LIED. He made up every. single. thing. There was NO truth. There was NO letter. There was NO attack. He lied. Try to do better & try with the damn truth. Facts matter.
you're complicit.
'Bendind the truth'? What truth did he bend? Oh, you mean he paid 2 guys to beat him up, said it was Trump supporters, said they screamed racist names, put a noose around his own neck, and was about to implicate 2 unnamed assailants. Which part is 'bending'?
'Bending the truth' lololol
Ridiculous that you would include Te’o in something like this. Someone being catfished and someone orchestrating a fake hate crime are not even in the same league. But hey I guess we should expect this from you guys by now.
They’re liars. They cannot be trusted. They make up stories to gain attention. The are attention whores who will never succeed in life.
'bending' No, YOU get bent.
Manti Te'o? AP, you are pathetic. Manti was a victim!
Nice list of public figures lying. Missing is The Liar King, Donald Trumpliarking
Te’o? Wtf? Do you “journalists” even try anymore? You couldn’t google the story?
How in God’s name is what Jussie Smollett did “bending the truth”
And what about Trump Why has nothing been done to require him to face justice for his endless lies?
Bending the truth, how about calling it what it is lies
😂 doesn’t mention Trump
It's like the media is actively trying to ruin their reputation and trust with the people
I think you mean, “lying or lied.”
I didn’t think could look any dumber and then they go and do this. What the hell is wrong with people. Stop giving people fuel to distrust the media (especially one particular group that is paranoid).
How has this tweet not been deleted yet
This one is truly horrific.
Wha?
Manti Te'o did nothing wrong. What the hell, Associated Press
Replace Manti with this guy maybe?
Bending? Flat-out LYING. And y'all wonder why the term 'fake news'.
Out right lying is not bending.
bending?
This may have been the longest, most stupid reach I've ever seen. You guys aren't even trying anymore.
They are deleting tweets that call them out on this ridiculous spin.
If by bending you mean 'outright lying and committing a felony' then, yeah, I guess.
Yeah not even close to the same thing as faking a girlfriend, but whatever.
Bending? This is why everyone hates you.
Bending
You know he not only lied but paid men to fake a hate crime, with a check?
'Bending'. You're a disgrace to the truth and to journalism.
What the fuck
Smollet’s was completely fabricated event with no truth in it to be bent. You’re better than this.
Bending? Seriously? Complete and total fabrication while endangering the lives of others= bending AP? Damn is it good to be a liberal!
Bending the truth? You mean his made up LIE? That headline is a microcosm of the problem
Big difference, AP. One was a victim. I’m a big proponent of journalism but you need to get it right. Te’o should not be on your list.
Happy to ratio this as well. Smollett bent the truth?
“Bending”?!? Let me help you out, morons . JussieSmollett LIED, manipulated anger over racism, and violated actual victims who are brave enough to come forward with the truth. You should be ashamed for this headline !!!
“Bending the truth”
You spelled 'fabricating' wrong.
“Bending” is pretty generous for Smollett ... name one single thing about his story that was true? He was in Chicago?
'bending the truth? Is that what they call lying and purposely deceiving people now a days?
Democrats love to play the race cards
ap contributing to the growing mistrust of the media by including Manti Te’0 on this list. Hey what about BillClinton why isn’t he on your list?
BENDING? BENDING? Are you freaking kidding me? Flat out LYING! is a political hack job!
Wow...throwing Te’o in here is unfair
Garbage, those two situations are not at all related
Bending.
You're missing a few...
Bending? Wtf?
Don’t forget about Hilary in the sniper fire.
I love the Orwellian speak when it is a negative story for leftists. Completely setting a hate crime hoax is 'bending the truth'. You can't bend truth when there's literally no truth to be had in the entire fucking story.
He did a lot more than just bend the truth.
Nice ratio dickheads
The last nail in the AP coffin.
Trying to water this one down?
The ap is a disgrace
“Bending the truth” - does Not apply to either BrianWilliams or Smollett. LIES. LIES. LIES.
They all lied. AP is bending the truth. Brian is still reorting for fake news NBC
'Bending' the truth? You serious?
Smollett bent the truth Seriously I don't think you understand what that means!
. Your 23 year old beat writer didn’t do his/her research. Te’o was a victim. You are clueless. Pay an editor to check the kids’ work before you publish. tryharder shameonyou
If you call commiting a felony 'bending the truth', you might be a biased rag.
He would have been ok with innocent people going to jail, and causing an uprising in more hate toward Trump supporters. Get fucked.
Bend vs break? Inkshitters!!
It's called lying.
The Associated Press 'bent the truth' with this headline.
Bending the truth = blatantly falsifying a police report
Huh? Bending the truth? These are bald-faced, fantastical lies! Not white lies or something revolving around semantics. SMH enemy of the people! JussieSmollettHoax
Um, might to include trump in that tweet.
The word you're looking for is 'lie'.
Fake news
“Bending the truth”? Rrreeeaaalllllyyyy? (Sarcasm)
Bending Geezus you people...Smh
Why the heck realDonaldTrump not on this list?! He’s the biggest or Bigly Liar ever
This is one of the dumbest headlines EVER, and that’s saying something with all the fake news nonsense these days. Whomever wrote this is a massive hack, seek help 💩 for brains!
Lying is to bending the truth what drowning is to learning to swim.
“Bending.”
You mean lying?
Did you include Hillary under sniper fire in Bosnia? She lied.
This is stupid. Jussie fabricated lies. No bending here
You must not have watched him lie repeatedly with conviction about his MAGA assault! There was no bending or stretching..... This person completely fabricated a hate crime!
Te'o got severely catfished. Jussie straight up lied and tried to make half the country look like sacks of trash by creating a fake hate crime.
Hahaha, 'Bending'. Journalism.
'Bending the truth' 😂😂🤣 Ya'll at the are truly the worst..... EnemyOfThePeople
Anything to support the Narrative
Jussie committed a hate crime. He lied and caused others who support the President to get attacked. He should be in jail right now!
Truly the DUMBEST thing I’ve seen all day!!!🤦🏼♂️
'If you like your healthcare you can keep it' MAGA
Bruh he even fooled me! 🤦🏿♂️ I just talked about Jussie Smollett(this lying sack of S***t ) btw I have the GREATEST SPEAKING VOICE 👇🏿 please retweet
'bending'
here for the ratio.
There’s no bending the truth. They lied. Period.
My prediction: This tweet gets ratio’d so hard, it starts bending on your screen.
Bend the truth? Teo was catfished. Williams blatantly made stuff up to pad his resume. Smollett committed a crime to garner sympathy and further an agenda. Sheesh, can any of you media clowns report the truth?
Why do you care more about Smollett's alleged lies than those of our chief executive officer Donald J. Trump?
This is why you are fake news & an enemy of the people. They lied. Smollett is lucky he is only getting charged with disorderly conduct. He could have also got perjury, obstruction, & conspiracy & possibly been put away for a decade or more. FactsMatter FakeNews
Poor comparison - they were harmless lies compared to smollett. People r really tired of bs writing from supposedly respectable news source and rather go to YouTube
Try again. Use the word “lying” and now you’re onto something.
'bending the truth'
Is this drivel what passes for “journalism” these days 🙄
just a reminder you guys are truly awful. I would piss on your grave if I get a chance.
Does the AP style book tell you to cause outright fiction simply “bending” the truth?
What was the 'truth' that was bent? This is a ridiculous headline. Do better.
It is called lying!
Let's call what they are..LIARS
This is why you’re called fake news
Really? “Bending”? Trash headline.
Here’s a 🏆 for the worst comparison of all time. Further, Teo was 6 yrs ago. Like there haven’t been numerous hoaxes over the past year alone that u could’ve used? Celebrity. That’s all they have in common.
PatriotsUnited
“Bending the truth” AKA Lying like a dog!!!
AP, Bending? Thank you for revealing your true nature by not being able to resist adding your propaganda to the title even. What fools you are and your time is running out. Hope ya’ll have back up plans.
Black officials accused the black guy of of lying to the black police when he paid his two black friends to dress as Trump supporters and beat him up. Really fake news
“Bending”
Bending the truth?
'bending the truth'
You mean lying
Bending?...more like breaking.
Bending? Bending the truth? Are you kidding? Enemy of the people!
How can you possibly put Manti Te’o the same sentence as Smollett? Completely ridiculous
'Bending the truth'? It is called 'lying'. Go back to journalism school.
How about a list of presidents who don’t bend the truth, but have no idea what it is?
Where's HRC? (Sniper Fire,...Oh, and lets not forget about that server situation)
He didn't 'bend' the truth. He lied. ' Bends the truth while reporting on the Jussie Smollett case.'
This tweet is bending the truth. They all lied.
Sharpton
This is trash. Pure trash.
This is bull shit.
Trump!
What an idiotic headline. These guys are out and out liars.
Top notch journalism right here.
Did you forget Blasey Ford? That one stenches even now!
Unreal.
Bending? It NEVER HAPPENED 🤦♀️
So filing a false police report is 'bending'. WTF
Liberals are sooooooooooo lucky they own the media.
Inventing a hate crime out of thin air is not 'bending' the truth, you hacks.
WHAT HAPPENED to the So far.....Smollett was indicted for fraud, filed a false police report, paid people to participate in a hoax, and sent himself a hate-crime letter. And you call that 'bending the truth.' I thought I was following a 'news' organization. I was wrong.
'Bending the truth' Hmmmmmmm........
DONALD J TRUMP?
Bending? You mean out right lying
Bending?
Bending? WTF! This punk committed a serious crime against an entire community.
Excuse me? Coming up with an imaginary girl friend and being ready to falsely accuse two innocent people isn't even in the same sport. Just goes to show you, you can wait for a bus and be destroyed by the press if your catholic. But if you're special no harm will come to you.
Delete Manti. Include realDonaldTrump
Bending? Complete fabrication. Planned, staged lies of false accusations.
Bend the truth LOL ' I did not have sexual relations with that woman,' ' If you like your Dr you can keep your Dr,' FakeNews EnemyOfThePeople Added to the list of those ' accused of bending the truth'
You cannot lump Manti Te'o in with those two, ESPECIALLY Jussie Smollett who committed a felony. This is sloppy even by the low standards most of us judge the media today.
There is no truth to bend when one is a lying POS.
My father was a proud journalist back from post WW2 through the 80’s. He respected the AP. I’m sure somewhere he’s weeping gently to himself. This is beyond parody. Delete your account.
You forgot realDonaldTrump
Bending. Good one. Its cally frat out lying. Its ok to call it that.
Bending, Lying....whatever.
Shame on you . This is nothing close to “bending the truth”. Report the news in a more accurate manner.
correct phrase is 'guilty of telling lies'
Wonder if Jussie will be surprised at the lack of support from all the average Americans AND the Chicago police who don’t make nearly as much in a YEAR that Smollett makes - er, made - per EPISODE?
'Bending'? They LIED. bias FakeNews
...AND The AP...
BeNdInG
Ad your organization to the list now! It’s called lying! Not bending!
You are bent news.
Isn't that really lying? Bending.... HA
“Bending” a city.
Include Hilary.
Try Lying.
Shit article
(“idiomatic) To change or leave out certain facts of a story or situation, generally in order to elicit a specific response in the audience.” He didn’t “BEND” he LIED please don’t BEND the narrative to please your audience...
You kind of forgot to put on this list.
‘Bending the truth’? Planned out blatant lies have weird euphemisms.
'Bending the truth'? Is that what you call what Jussie did? His heinous lies once again fed the false narrative that Trump supporters - and Trump himself - are nothing but racist, violent homophobes. I don't see you or any other media outlets apologising for your rhetoric
Only with AP is staging a hate crime, filing a false police report and using dozens of resources to investigate a fraud called 'bending the truth'.
'Bending the truth'? The only potential truth there was in the whole story is that he was eating a hoagie. And even that hasn't been verified.
Ap is a fraud
“Bending the truth” lying, creating a hoax, deceiving. It’s beyond “bending the truth” especially for Jussie!
Bending the truth? Is that the new euphemism for telling a bold face lie and blaming on white people.
The spin cycle is in full effect.
'bending the truth'
“Bending”
Bending? How about just straight forward LIED about the truth...
“Bending the truth”? You sure that’s the term that you want to use when referring to Smollett?
Bending? And Pearl Harbor was a Japanese hissy fit.
Filing 2 fraudulent police reports to up your name recognition while simultaneously smearing half the country based on their skin color and politics. Then doubling down on your denial AFTER you’ve already been busted by the CPD! And you’re still lying! “Bending” the truth. 👌
What part was true enough to bend? The party where he claimed to be walking down the street?
FFS!! He planned, rehearsed & participated in a FAKE HATE CRIME HOAX intending to smear Trump and his supporters. You are sickening & that is why you are FakeNews, the enemy of the people.
Bending the truth? He staged an attack and then went on every show he could to tell us how strong he is and that he’s going to overcome. You are part of the damn problem.
It’s called LYING
BENDING the truth?
'Bending '?
Bending? And...false equivalency much?
'accused of bending the truth' You're a joke, AP.
Go ahead.....you can say LYING, they know.....
You mean lying liberals. Hmmmm
Smollett didn’t ‘bend’ the truth AP. It’s stuff like this that earns the MSM it’s bad rap.
Manti got catfished, to be fair
You misspelled 'lied'.
Lol at Bending. Geez this is why nobody trusts you frauds
MSM damage control in full effect.
'Bending' EnemyOfThePeople
“Bending.” Like you guys “bend” the news.
Manti should not be on this list.
Heres a look at the AP 'bending ' the English language in a headline...
Bending the truth is not the same as making up a bunch of lies. Seriously, come on.
Bending the truth? More biased fake news sounds like.
Let's not forget the King of victimhood LeBron and Michael Bennett Ummm bending the truth, no Competely lying and race baiting, yes
Im not sure you understand what bending means
What a BS article. Smollett faked a HATE CRIME. He could have caused riots. There are already daily assaults on conservatives, so he decided to frame them and put them in greater danger. He took desperately needed resources away from the public in Chicago. BIG DIFFERENCE.
“Bending the truth” 🙄 Unreal. Fake. Lie. False. All words more fitting for this one.
Bending? Their liars. Nice try on the spin
Bending the truth? Don’t waste words. Lying.
Bending?🧐 Still laughing at that one🤣🤣
Bending— FFS the dude wrote a check paying for two dudes to do this and you right bending?
No, they lied. The corporate media bent the truth with that headline to minimize the lies told by Williams, Manti, & Smollett. See how that works?
Setting up a fate crime hoax is bending the truth! has zero credibility.
Don't forget Senator Blumenthal, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Dan Rather. Oh, it's called LYING.
Try to do better... Suck less next time
Bending 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You are completely misrepresenting Manti Teo with this. He was the victim of that situation.
JussieSmollett didn’t ‘bend the truth’. He PLOTTED a FABRICATED HATE HOAX. He’s a criminal, and deserves to go to prison.
This has to be one of the worst takes, ever
Sorry! For all you PC liberals out there, they mean, “lying.” Hope I didn’t trigger anyone...
Smollett didn't 'bend the truth', he straight up engaged in a criminal conspiracy in order to try to get more money and on-screen time out of Fox TV. Because if you didn't think the Empire writers were going to eventually write this BS into their show, you don't know Hollywood.
Since when is “bending” a synonym for “made up out of whole cloth to smear my political enemies”?
Truth bender!
You spelled lying wrong
Propaganda
mosesbread72 and it's called lying not bending the truth.
I wish our only problem in this country was about dudes lying about girlfriends. Instead we have unhinged celebrities staging fake hate crimes to prop up the illusion of racist Trump supporters and a willing and gleeful media to push the same lie.
Delete this tweet and story: 'bending the truth' - you have got to be joking.
Bending the truth? Seriously?
Bending? 💀💀💀
'Bending the Truth'
Bending? Cmon!
Bending? LOL. How about adding Christine Blasey Ford to the list and call it what it is - outright LYING.
“Bending the truth” ? Wow. And you wonder why they call you fake news and the enemy of the people.
gonna , folks
If he made it up he didn't 'bend' the truth he lied.
Bending the truth? It was a PLANNED HOAX from start to finish to FRAME MAGA HAT wearers and incite violence and false attacks against them. It was more akin to a hate crime than 'bending the truth.' You truly are the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE.
Teo got catfished by a dude. Teo being a sucker has nothing to do with the other 2 clowns
In the news today we have two terrorists. One is a Coast Guard officer who made a list of potential targets and the other is an actor who sent white powder through the mail. Who will get the more severe punishment? blackpriveledge
bending the truth right here
Bending? There wasn't a single grain of truth in Smollett's story. As for Teo, he faked a girlfriend. And Williams? He had even less truth than either of them. I wouldn't say 'Bending'.
BENDING AP you have become partisan, racist FAKE NEWS!!!
Shameful reporting
'Bending' Also you forgot Hillary was under fire.. Liars..all liars..
Not a single person mentioned in this tweet bent the truth. One was catfished, and the other two straight-up lied.
Bending? You mean flat out LYING?
I was there. She was real. Hello 911, racist trump supporters assualted me. Yeah, totally the same situation. Not
Bending? Delete your account and start coding. Wow
Bending the truth? WTF.. it's calling lying
Weird, I've never heard you say Trump bends the truth. He's just a full blown liar or something ...
Teo didn't lie or 'bend the truth.' He was catfished. Do your job Associated Press. He in no way is like the other two.
Bending the truth is saying you had 'a few' drinks at the bar. Orchestrating a phony hate crime is a criminal act.
You misspelled 'lying'
Not bending the truth. Bending it over.
Haha!!
He bent the truth the way we bent Hiroshima in 1945.
🤥s 🤥s 👖s on 🔥. It’s not bending it’s lying.
Bending the truth Haha haha! You sound like my 14 year old trying to get out being caught lying.
bending huh?
BENDING hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
bending the truth? in the real world we call that lying.
BENDING?!?!?!?!
Learn to code.
Let's START with Trump!!!!!! He bends the TRUTH every time he opens his mouth!!!! BRIAN WILLIAMS!!!!!
It’s called lying.
Bending the truth? Exactly what truth did Jussie bend?
Oh that's priceless coming from liar Brian Williams. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Bending”? Seriously?
It's not 'bending' when you pay people to attack you and then claim to be a victim.
‘Bending’? You misspelled ‘making shit up’.
Y'all are the enemy of the ppl. There is no other explanation for your continued actions.
You forgot Hillary.
Bend the truth? That term only applies when there is some truth to be had. This was a flat out lie and hoax.
“Bending the truth...”
Smollett lies to the police, Manti Te’o was catfished please don’t conflate a crime with liars like Brian Williams....
Not 'bending the truth,' LYING...call it what it is...
I think Jussie did a little more than just bending the truth
Lying. Its called lying.
“Here’s a look at public figures accused of lying.” Fixed it for ya.
Manti Te’o didn’t do that he was scammed it’s been proven. Shame on you
Te’o was catfished Jesus aren’t you supposed to be a news source? This is why we don’t believe you anymore
They aren't accused of 'bending the truth'. They are accused of lying. You can't bend the truth when what you say has ZERO truth in it. The AP doesn't even try to pretend it's not a liberal rag.
Seriously, AP?
Instead of Manti Te'o, would have been more fitting to include Hillary Clinton and her tale of landing in Bosnia under sniper fire.
Bending
“Bending?”
You mean to say LIE !
'bending' Sure
AP doing everything they can to ensure you'll never trust the media again by saying they bent the truth....AP truly doesn't even understand what an outright lie is anymore. Solid ratio BTW.
You are doing journalism wrong. Again
Jussie didn't 'bend' the truth: he flat out lied
You forgot Donald Trump.
Bending?😡
That title is quite the 'bend'
Are you serious? 'Bending the truth' Nice attempt at spinning. Shame AP!
“Bending?” What a joke.
Enjoy your ratio, you earned it!
Hillary Clinton “sniper fire”
You left out Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell
One of these is not like the others
Bending the truth? This spin trying to relieve Smullet of responsibility is astounding.
Who dis Manti hurt besides himself ?
Bending. Truth. ?
Te'o was the VICTIM of a hoax. Is anyone at the AP capable of writing a story and not completely F-ing it up?
AND Brian Williams hello!!
Do you AP guys even know what you’re doing?
You could have gone with taraji p Henson, seeing as she lied about racist police in 2014 AND ALSO works on empire
Truth? Get bent.
Why are we holding this celebrity to a higher standard of honesty than we do the President of the United States?
'I cannot bend the truth. It was I who chopped down the cherry tree.' - George Washington
Manti was a victim. A simple google search would have sufficed AP.
Bending the truth
Not even close.
Let’s not forget to include Morton Downey Jr. and Dan Rather....
Smollett was a hate crime.
A lie is a lie
Hi there , I'm William I'm seeking for an online/distance honest and straightforward sugar baby to spoil with good allowance of about $500 and other items every week. Text me if you are interested
Are u fucking kidding me AP? These three people have nothing in common with one another. Faking a hate crime does not equate to bending the truth, according to anyone who lived ever.
Manti WAS A VICTIM OF AN INSANE PERSON. These other losers are not victims
bending the truth? isn't jussie smollett being charged for fabricating the story he reported to the police? a fabricated story is a constructed lie masked as the truth. id est: smollett didn't 'bend the truth' because there was no truth in his story to bend. he made the story up.
“Bending the truth”? Manti Te’o didn’t lie, he was lied to. The other two lied to boost their stature because democrats monetize victimhood. That’s the story here.
Hey AP: you are what you say they are. Manti? Is this TMZ? You wonder why Trump’s comments re the press get traction?
Bending the truth? Wtf 😂
Hey ap, have you heard of Donald Trump?
Leave manti te’o alone, dudes name did not deserve to be brought to this.
Wait wut?!? Te’o was a victim of a hoax, not the perpetrator
Bending, it’s a flat out lie
Bending the truth? Brian Williams & Smollett LIED! Call it what it is.
Smolett didn't bend the truth, he invented it
Bending the truth? This is why you're fake news! Enemyofthepeople
Please add Donald Trump to this list msnbc Lawrence
Um, I don't think Brian Williams' bending of memory is anywhere close to Jussie Smollet's complete, premeditated fabrication of an incident that involved hundreds of hours of law enforcement time and which played off of painful divides in the country for personal gain.
lol Donald Dump too
Bending the truth This douchebag staged a hate crime specifically targeting Republicans and Trump supporters. People of all races and political views should be outraged. JailForJussie racistdemocrats
WTF - Bending? Yeah, look who’s bending.
Mantis was an actual victim. The other two were liars.
You forgot Hillary's 'bullets whizzing over our heads' stunt. Purely an accidental omission, I'm sure.
BENDING THE TRUUUUTH!!
One faked a hate crime another got catfished. Faking a hate crime is Not bending the truth.
Give me a break AP...they LIED!
Manti was a victim you imbeciles. And 'bending'? Really? Let me correct it for you. Williams and Smollett straight up lied. I'm tired of the watering down of lying. They lied, okay?
Manti Te’o didn’t make his story up he was catfished...
Try this one, instead: David Beckham and Jussie Smollett: Here's a look at people with a history of bending stuff.
Called lying.
Anyone remember RyanLochte Okay.
“Bending” the truth? That truth was BROKEN!!!
BENDING?!?! Jeesus, media in full overdrive trying to, subtly, downplay this. every story, they take the edge off a little by saying things like 'bending the truth' instead of 'LIED'. LOL, you 'journalists' are too much. 🤣🤣 Plus they have evidence! Here, look:
BendingJussieSmollett..wow that is as soft as it gets..
Ryan Lochte deserves more of a spot on this list than Manti Te’o.
Lol wow. Quite the odd grouping there. Two are in trouble legally and one got catfished. Do better.
This All started with Pinocchio.
mutludc they deserve a hard punishment
Don’t forget CNN
One of those is not like the others.
Bending? 🤦♂️
Bending the truth Delete your account
“Bending the truth”, aka as deceptively lying.
BENDING?
This is so garbage I couldn’t even tell you.
Bending?
Bending the truth: To change or leave out certain facts of a story or situation, generally in order to elicit a specific response in the audience. Lie: To make an untrue statement with intent to deceive. Words matter.
Bending...is what you used to call lying... or do we only bend that to lying when it is Trump and his supporters?
Are all cat fishing victims to blame now Is that how it is?
Uhm Manti Teo was the victim, not the perpetrator
Bending?!?!?
BENDING THE TRUTH. ARE YOU KIDDING YOUR READERS. THIS SOB LIED THROUGH HIS TEETH A NUMBER OF TIMES. HE WAS EVEN PREPARED TO THROW HIS FRIENDS UNDER THE BUS. THIS GUY IS A SCUMBAG. CNN FoxNews
Teo didn’t bend the truth. He got catfished
'Bending The Truth'? A Lie Is A Lie Is A Lie Is A Lie Is A Lie Is A Lie!!!!!
'Bending the truth'....Hahaha....
Manti Te'o? You may want to review that one again.
And the media, don’t forget the media!
Wonder how Manti Te’o feel about being lumped in with Jussie Smollett?
Shortest list ever
Fake news says race hoax is 'bending the truth'
This is simply disgusting, . Te'o was a victim and has no business being included in this article and even more so the headline. Then how more wrong can you be characterizing what Smollett is accused of as bending the truth? Disgraceful journalism
And they make more money in 1 week than many Americans make in 1 year before taxes. Ungrateful they are.
Well I can cancel my planned one man protest FireTheEmpireLiar this afternoon fox5ny studios nyc leedanielsent Dannystrong EmpireWriters rupertmurdoch
How about this one guy named Donald Trump who has bent the truth over 8000x in the last couple years?
Trump
Fire Trump for lying, please.
LYING. SAY IT. WE'RE NOT SEVEN YEARS OLD.

wasn't Te'o a victim of catfishing? I don't think that's comparable
Manti? You guys serious? Waiting for to delete this tweet and issue a correction.
Get it right AP! Staging and acting out a fake crime and filing a false police report is not “bending” the truth. There is no “truth” to bend when you completely fabricate everything.
There are so many things wrong with this heading, it is almost as if it was purposefully written so as to “bend the truth” ... unbelievable showcase of why people have no confidence in the press anymore... FakeNews
BENDING THE TRUTH? Even the headline is not “bending”, it’s lying. Do they now have Bending 101 in journalism school?
It's hard to see venerable institutions like submit themselves before the altar of politics. Manti Te'o is not like Williams and Smollett. I remember reading newspapers and watching tv news. Now, I do neither. Really sad.
Bending?
He wasn’t bending the truth. A flat out lie. Not a word of truth.
'Bending the truth'?!?! Seriously?!?! The man fabricated a VIOLENT HATE CRIME! Quite possibly for political purposes and you're actually going to characterize that as 'bending the truth' CearnToLode
Story Update Correction: Brian Williams, Manti Te'o and now Jussie Smollett: Here's a look at public figures accused of Lying.
“Bending the Truth”!!!! Journalism much?
Unlike the others, Manti was duped. Not that I expect accuracy from you or anything...
I think you misspelled lying
Let’s put Donald Trump at the head of that list. The question now with Trump is when is he telling the truth.
BrettRichards67 They lied. Not only did they lie, but did so maliciously.
Manti was naive and foolish but he wasn’t a liar. He was catfished and made to look like a fool but comparing him to Jussie is ignorant at best
Bending These two are despicable
Bending?!?!? Hahaha
I don't think bending is the best choice of words. It doesn't appear that there's any truth to be bent.
Teo should sue you for defamation on this
When your dishonest plans backfired you oughta feel all these scheming leads to nothing. Why take short cuts?
Bending the truth?!? There was no truth to any of it... that is called lying.
Honorary mention: The balloon boy debacle!!! 🎈 🤷♂️
Wasn’t Manti catfished? Yep. Isn’t Jussie committing a hate crime? Yep.
Give it 10 years we'll forgive him.
What a pathetic headline. But hey, yeah a free press is important to help guide you towards their ideology. If I rob a bank, did I bend the law?
'BENDING'? And you wonder why news keeps getting called out as fake ffs.
Forgot one....
Bending the truth?!? They lied
Add Trump please
(((BENDING THE TRUTH)))
Bending? It seems like outright lying.
Is Ryan Lochte on the list?
Stop! Smollett did not “bend the truth”! He methodically planned and executed a FELONY TotalFakeNews
Bending. THIS is why 'journalist' is somewhere between 'street pimp' and 'grave-robber' on the list of America's esteemed professions.
Yeah, look I'm going to use my acting skills to outwit these 'hardboiled' city detectives, while you guys fly back to Africa..ok? 🤔
So much journalying
'Bending the truth' is me telling my doctor I have a couple of cups of coffee a day when it's usually 3 or 4. Faking a hate crime is disintegration of the truth.
The Trump period.
Can we have a list of politician “bending” the truth ? Let’s start with Trump.
There goes ‘bending’ words for the Dems. Oh and Manti Te’o should sue you. He didn’t lie, but you do.
Yet the government is not held accountable... smdh
Brian accepted responsibility and took his punishment, why do you need to bring him into this
Don’t forget President Donald Trump. He does it daily.
“Bending the truth?” Te’o lied about having met his online girlfriend (who turned out to be fake)...that’s maybe “bending the truth.” Williams LIED about his helicopter being hit, among other stories. Smollett took LYING to a whole other level. Don’t tiptoe around facts.
'Bending the truth'... Come on man
Wow. If by “bending” you mean outright lies..
By bending you mean lying
Ryan Lochte?
Bending the truth? Let's call it what it is, flat out lies by liars for their own advantage among liberal elite
Get fucking bent.
***long, hard exhale*** Great, now do Trump’s lies and rhetoric that inspired the 2 domestic terrorists caught in the last 4 months with larges caches of weapons and copies of Trump’s enemies list.
ap where exactly is the truth that was bent? This was a complete fabrication and lie!
Bending the truth? In this case, there is no bending of the truth, it was flat out lies!
Bending the truth. That is very understanding of you. Everything is okay everyone. The silly actor only bent the truth just a little. No harm.
You put Manti Te'o in with this guy? AP couldnt be more wrong.
Do you mean lied? I feel like you meant lied.
“Bending” How about outright LYING! FRAUD! Jeezus this is a total fakenews headline!
There has to be truth, for it to be bent.
Here's a good one from Cory Booker of New Jersey who just like in the Kavanaugh hearing, he just to conclusions without waiting for any evidence to play out,
Grouping Manti Te’o and Brian Williams together with Smollett is absurd.
Where’s Trump on this list? 8,000 + lies since he was installed.
Now do Trump.
Manti appears to me was just stupid and catfished
And this why you are Fake News.
Matt louer
'Bending the truth?' This is what 'journalism' has become. It's fraught with a lack of ethics, subjective reporting and racism. This lying piece of trash staged a hate crime, which every liberal media outlet recklessly ran with.
You could add trump to the list. Just sayin.
Omission is also deception, !
Wait....'bending the truth' Or, flat out LYING!! Give me a break, shameful. Until ONE news agency stands up and reports the news honestly, nothing is ever going to change.
in terms of severity 1 Smollett 2 Te'o 3 Brilliams really, its a shame you've got Brian in this tweet
bending the truth? really?
What a wild headline. Jussie Smollett is being charged with a FELONY! Te'o bending the truth about having a girlfriend...... see a difference
Teo got catfished...don't compare him to that POS Brian Williams
What a terrible headline! talk about Clickbait Jussie filed a false police report that’s a felony. I expect more from the ass clown AP
They lied. And you forgot the current president.
Bending? Come on straight out lying is more like it.
Nice euphemism how about you call it what it is? Lying. See- not hard.
You completely forgot Donald Trump and his group of cronies from your list.
'accused'
Jussie takes the cake!
Did Manti Te'o lie? I thought he got catfished.
No bigger hoax than 'no collusion'
The AP is known to bend the truth as well. Don't forget about them
'bending the truth' sounds so nice and cushy like a pillow 🤗 🙄🙄🙄🙄
'bending' the truth. L.O.L
I think the word you’re looking for is “lying”.
“Bending the truth?” Really?
They did the right thing. He must understand there are consequences to his actions. He can’t just get away with it. He should actually be removed from the show PERMANENTLY!!!!!! JussieSmolettHoax JussieSmolett
Bending the truth?
Bending Hahha you’re such garbage
'Bending the truth'...lol. They lied. They are liars. All 3 made up and lied about things, they didn't 'bend the truth' This is why nobody trusts the media.
