Examples of FALSELY in a Sentence

1. David Harsanyi:

   This week alone, four big scoops were run by major news organizations — written by top reporters and presumably churned through layers of scrupulous editing — that turned out to be completely wrong: Reuters, Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, and others reported that the special counsel’s office had subpoenaed Donald Trump’s records from Deutsche Bank. They weren’t, aBC reported that Trump had directed Michael Flynn to make contact with Russian officials before the election. He didn’t (as far as we know). The New York Times ran a story that showed K.T. McFarland had acknowledged collusion. She didn’t. Then CNN topped off the week by falsely reporting that the Trump campaign had been offered access to hacked Democratic National Committee emails before they were published.

2. Koch Industries spokesman Ken Spain:

   If politicians or political organizations decide to double down on falsely attacking the reputations of Koch Industries, its shareholders, and 60,000 American employees, it is likely to be as successful as it was in 2014.

3. Christopher M. Carr:

   The Justice Department is wrong: factually, legally and constitutionally. Georgia's law clearly strengthens security, expands access and improves transparency in our elections. Merrick Garland said he was going to depoliticize the Justice Department yet files this blatantly political lawsuit, it is disappointing for those of us who respect the rule of law, because this is not a lawsuit, it is a political campaign flier. Falsely using race to scare people of color into believing their vote will not be counted is irresponsible and fundamentally wrong.

4. Donald Trump:

   Shame on those who make up false stories of assault to try to get publicity for themselves, or sell a book, or carry out a political agenda -- like Julie Swetnick who falsely accused Justice Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, it's just as bad for people to believe it, particularly when there is zero evidence. Worse still for a dying publication to try to prop itself up by peddling fake news -- it's an epidemic.

5. Bernarda Villalona:

   So that is the way that the case could be portrayed to a jury – which is, Jack Caswell via AP’s already falsely said Jack Caswell via AP did n’t pull the trigger and we know that is a lie. it’s going to be difficult as to Alec Baldwin, the actor, because they’re charging that Getty Images/AP Alec Baldwin should look and check the gun to make sure that it was dummies but that’s not Getty Images/AP Alec Baldwin job.
