- etatoby 8y agoIf you use words to suggest something untrue, you are a liar. "Technically correct" is something best left to lawyers, whose job entails just that, by its very nature. Everybody else, especially those whose job is to inform people, don't get to use a "technically correct" free pass. They're either telling the truth or lying. In this case, the unnamed coward journalist is lying.
