38. Watch Lawrence O'Donnell who rails at least once a week about how Trump "DOES NOT READ" and "LIES."

How he, O'Donnell outright says that he refuses to show Trump propaganda rallies masked as pressers on covid or anything else.

I know we're in a bad situation, but the press and investigative journalism are our watchdogs. We need to see them clearly.

"Not doing their job" is too sweeping to believe, when the FOIA's, the undercover videos they made started the similar broad citizen engagement we see today. TV and journalism have bought and shown literally dozens of citizen live videos of the very things that fire up nationwide protests.

You're really asserting too much without providing a shred of evidence.

I'd say it's now your turn to show at least a few examples of how they're not doing their job.
