First of all, stop promoting the lies and propaganda. Record the briefings and give the people the pertinent and factual information with which to make rational and wise decisions.
Secondly, find Republicans to interview, especially Republican leaders. They are hiding from the media, or else the media is not trying to locate them.
We know where the Democrats stand. We need to know where the Republicans stand. For example, what do they think is the responsibility of the Congress in oversight of the $2.2 trillion that Donald Trump is attempting to steal?
The truth is to be found by putting pressure on the Republicans. So long as they are permitted to hide from the media, the confusion and propaganda will continue from this White House. It is not enough to simply interview Democrats.

How do you corner them when they are hiding from the media?
I wish the media at the press briefings was not as nice as they have been, the questions need to be harder and the push back needs to be greater. Sure some of them might lose their passes if they cross the line to far, but they need to start calling out his lies in real time, otherwise he will continue to own the day.

If a Repub does show their face what could they possibly say? If they dared even eye roll about Trumps daily s show they could have the wrath of a primary drop on them.
The media should still seek them out.
