    Are you sure he’s not just so completely:

    • senile
    • deluded
    • forgetful
    • or just plain stupid

    that he actually knows that was a falsehood when he said it?

    To call something a lie, you basically have to be inside the person’s head. You have to know not only the action, but the intent. That’s, really, really hard to prove in a way that satisfies the (legitimate and necessary) requirements of journalistic ethics.
