Obviously when this shitshow is over Trump should be tried in a Nuremberg-style court and sentenced to prison, but before he is incarcerated he should be required to work as a supermarket bag boy so he can finally learn how expensive groceries are

You can measure the quality of news outlets' political coverage by how often they write headlines starting with the words "Trump says" that don't show any skepticism about what Trump is saying even though he's the most prominent American liar of modern times.

There's no rule of journalism that says you have to show a president telling lie after lie – uncorrected – many times a day. That's a decision that corporate media are making for purposes other than delivering the truth to the public.
