CNN marked Donald Trump exceeding 10,000 misleading statements with fullscreen graphics to drive home the numbers.

Compiled by the Washington Post, CNN’s “New Day” had Glenn Kessler, “The Fact Checker” columnist for the newspaper, as a guest on Monday morning.

As Kessler discussed the newest count with John Berman, the network put up fullscreen graphics that emphasizes both the current count, 10,111, as well as the 171 the columnist tallied in three days. The result was this rather cluttered graphic.
