Can anyone see any reason why reports should not say, "President T. falsely said…" "President T. doubled down on false story…" and so on?
With pols routinely using the press as conduits for falsehoods, I would like to see the press fight back. This can, for-sure, be abused or just plain wrong, but we need to reestablish some standards, some way for readers to know which way is up.
(Somewhere there is a longer article to be written on this, but I can't figure out what it should say.)
