7. The "MSM" cannot disprove a lie instantaneously.

It takes time.

We hear MFer's ludicrous lies about the Reflecting Pool and we know instinctively it's BS. We're right, but (to pick DU's favorite whipping boy) the NYT has to PROVE it before they can say it's a lie. 2 verifiable sources, right?

Even when they write the story of the measly 5 citations handed out to tourists for touching floating chunks of paint, that doesn't really hold MFer "accountable". His lies are 1-way conversations. If any MSM reporter gets a chance to call him on a lie, he insults them, changes the topic, and if that doesn't work, HE RUNS AWAY.

I don't think "accountability" is on the table any longer.
