"WHAT IS YOUR INTENT?" Something to think about for 2017
"WHAT IS YOUR INTENT?" Something To Think About For 2017
"DON'T PAINT SOMEONE WITH A BROAD BRUSH UNTIL YOU KNOW THEIR INTENTION!!"  
I was watching an opinion piece on TV about how the media is examining the use of the word "Lie" or "Liar" when it comes to talking about a public figure, namely, a politician. Most panelists recognized that mistakes are made all the time and should not be subject to be identified as a lie unless you can prove the individual knew the truth and intended to lie regardless of the truth.
"As a journalist, it is not a good thing to publicly call a person a liar since you cannot know what the thinking was at the time the supposed 'lie' was spoken"...This was the stance taken by almost all panelists on this show. There was consensus on the matter: No one should be called a liar publicly or privately for that matter since one cannot possibly know the intent behind the supposed "lie".
