Everyone knows a lie when they see one. If the President didn't know any better, its still hardly defensible.

At the end of the day, if what the President did was a lie and if journalists called out politicians who committed sins of omission, then we wouldn't have politics at all.

Politics is based on the sin of omission. It's based on presenting facts rarely as they are but as you want them to be.

Call it a lie, don't call it a lie, it doesn't matter. The President is playing politics and you know we do the same. Maybe not to the same extent but definitely the same in principle.
