Why Trump Can Lie and No One Seems to Care

8. Yes, and Eridani's post mentions that syndrome as well.

The cable news services could handle any volume of lies, if they would, by cutting into Trump's free camera time to hit every significant statement briefly. There's always more than enough excess verbosity to do it. Even network news could do it in the tiny slices of time between commercials.

But after all, why would they? Which party do the businessmen at the top want running this country?

I agree entirely about TV news. We do watch PBS, and my kitchen radio's permanently tuned to NPR. Cable's for discussion shows when we feel like it. Network is basically boycotted for corruption and failure of informative purpose, watched now and then only to see what they're reporting and how they're styling it.

Print media is where the information is, and 99.99% of the disinformation of course.
