In 2019, The Media Has to Do Better in Calling Out Trump's Shit
by Dan Sinker

Being objective doesn't mean letting liars lie.
n the light of a brand new year, I have one simple wish: Big news organizations need to do a better job treating the President like the liar that he is.
That he’s a liar isn’t a revelation, I know.
News organizations have done an amazing job at tracking his lies (the Washington Post clocks him at 7,645 (!!!) since he took office, though it’s probably higher since this was published), at fact checking his lies (Politifact ranks only 5 percent of his statements as true), at debating whether they should call them lies (“intent is key” decided NPR), and at inventing ranking systems to describe the volume of his lies (meet the “bottomless Pinnochio”). That’s all good stuff.
