Ari Melber, Huff Post excerpts
Instead, several authoritative accounts of Ryan's address decided that his falsehoods were a key part of the news Ryan made, as these headlines show:
"Mr. Ryan's Misleading Speech" (the Washington Post)
"Deficit Vow Lacks Specifics" (A.P.)
"Paul Ryan Address: Convention Speech Built On Demonstrably Misleading Assertions" (Huffington Post)
Opinionated commenters were even harsher, focusing more on factual failure than ideological differences. Taken together, the overwhelming verdict on Ryan's speech was that he should not be believed. (By one online measurement, on the day after the speech, the most widely cited convention articles led with the falsehoods.)
