Watching a White House press briefing, it’s readily apparent lies are being told because there is no real world evidence to back the false claims. And there’s no accountability exercised by media which is so simple to exercise.

  • Claim.
  • What is the proof for the claim?
  • There is no proof for the claim.
  • Publish that the claim is a lie.

So we’re in the cycle of fabled indignation. Ask why the problem is growing worse and not better. Being rebuked that the problem is getting better. But simply stating the problem is getting better doesn’t make the problem get better. Yet what media prints is, “White House press secretary reports things are getting better.” And it’s left at that.

Please publish the lie is a lie and not merely publish the lie. Respect the responsibility of journalism. Respect truth and Americans.
