Even though there are still fact-checkers and even though the media years back established that Trump has told tens of thousands of lies since he came down that escalator, U.S. media outlets still tend to amplify Trump's words before fact-checking them. They can spend half an article on what Trump claims before getting to crucial details about the legality or facts of anything he is holding forth about. A decade and thousands of deaths into this awful business, many in the media still haven't learned.
