Lawrence O'Donnell slams media for its no fact-checking coverage of trump's lies

[butters]

"It would be hard to find a sentence in what Donald Trump said today that did not include at least one lie,” O’Donnell said. “Some of the networks tried to play catchup with fact-checking after Donald Trump finished speaking, but that, of course, is way too late and utterly useless. No network even attempted to fact-check every lie Donald Trump told."

In his segment, O'Donnell regarded the media's treatment of Trump's third campaign for the White House as "2016 all over again," and that "the same mistakes are being made" in how major media outlets are inherently helping Trump by allowing him to get away with lying unchecked.

"I have never seen an industry slower at learning from its own stupid mistakes than the American news business, and you cannot expect them in the next 89 days to figure out what they haven’t been able to figure out in nine years: how to cover a Trump for president campaign," O'Donnell said.

he's not wrong

Harvard law professor emeritus Laurence Tribe praised O'Donnell for his media critique, calling him "uniquely well informed, courageously candid, and on point."

"If only other news anchors would follow his lead. Truth is, they’re mostly not smart enough," he tweeted.

Most people haven't learned this axiom:

If 'rumps lips are moving he's lying.

Unfortunately, the Lawrence’s in media are rapidly diminishing.

New hasn't been news since the late 80s.

News is about ratings, clicks and revenue.

Right...this makes it entertainment.

That ^ should be Kamala’s response after every Trump word-salad diatribe in the debate - and then she should proceed to present her case to the American people about:

1) Trump and the MAGAt "republicans" exacerbating the problems at the border by advertising (LYING about) "open borders" to desperate migrants and sabotaging immigration and border security legislation .

2) Trump and the MAGAt "republicans" exacerbating economic and social disparity with their enabling of corporate greedflarion, their kleptocratic tax policies, and their racist, Christo-fascist social policies.

3) Trump and the MAGAt "republicans" exacerbating the climate crisis and infectious disease crisis with their Luddite level denial of science.

4) Trump and the MAGAt "republicans" exacerbating the rise of authoritarianism by appeasing Putin, etc.



And Kamala really doesn’t have to “go low” about how OLD Trump is - or how morally bankrupt that POS is - but she could…and she might.
