Plenty of politicians change their positions, and many of them tend to try to hide their inconsistencies. Few even approach The Donald.

Fact-checking Trump isn't easy. As his popularity has grown, The Donald has become even more brazen in his appearances. In March, he contradicted himself in separate interviews just minutes apart.

Most recently, Trump has been claiming that he opposed the Iraq War, a notion that has gone unchallenged by some in the media.
It will be worth watching to see if CNN continues this kind of practice, and whether other media companies adopt similar tactics.
