Why do the reporters not follow up on Trump's lies?

Even if it is the next day?

Because it is the lies that is the cancer that is destroying our country from within. The lies have worn us out.

Even today, he lied about the "criminality" of the Obama White House when asked about the lawlessness in his own White House. As I recall, Obama never had anyone in his White House go to prison or work with spies from Russia.

What about the Russian "hoax". Senators from both Parties said it was not a "hoax" in their report released yesterday. Is that "fake news"?

The press needs to do a better job when given the opportunity to ask questions. They need to address the lies. The lies are killing us.

For everyone else, risk your so-called access and ask the obvious follow-up questions.
