Oct 19 · Trump says “Paris is going to be a Muslim city very soon”
CNN: Trump: ‘Paris is going to be a Muslim city very soon’
Grade B (82/100). Raw clip; question included
Lehrer score 82/100 (−18 omission: no CNN narration or French response; the only counter-view is a reporter's question at [0:01] “is blaming the Iran war … for the rioting in France”). Fixed scale: 90+ A, 80s B, 70s C, 60s D, under 60 F → B. Full transcript read (0:00–0:48, local transcription).
Raw exchange with no CNN narration. Trump at [0:29]: “Paris is going to be a Muslim city very soon.” A reporter's question at [0:01] raises the Iran war as a cause, and Trump answers “I think that's fake news” [0:06].
Agrees: Same remarks as the Euronews and NY Post clips.
Splits: Includes the reporter's Iran-war question; the other two clips start at the remark.
- Met. Rule: do nothing I cannot defend (accurate clip of his words)
- Broken. Rule: assume there is at least one other side (no French response; only the reporter's question at [0:01])
Same story: European news channel (stand-in): Euronews, New York Post
