(52,232 posts)yet the media can't bring itself to make this statement about Donnie, who has smashed all records in terms of lying and exaggerating.
Journalism 101 says to dump sources who repeatedly lie. I get that now that he's president what he says is newsworthy, but it has to be framed as coming from, exactly as that tweet suggests: a thoroughly discredited liar.
The media has to stop giving access to politicians that regularly lie and repeatedly dodge questions. (I am thinking of Jim Jordan refusing to answer Stephenopolis this Sumday).
The media fails their consumers when we don't learn anything because they don't hold these people accountable for their lies by denying access.
