And they only trust Fox News, which won't report the truth. If Fox can't spin the story to make Trump look good or to blame it on Biden, they simply don't report it.

What I don't understand is why so many people are hesitant to call out public officials spewing lies during press conferences. Some guy said, "In 2017 Obama did XYZ" and the anchor made a face because she knew Obama wasn't president in 2017 and the person who had actually done that thing was Trump, but she never corrected him.

Another time Leavitt said the only person to blame for the Covid-19 shutdowns was Biden. No one in the press corps corrected her that the shutdown happened under Trump. Trump gave the orders early 2020 to shut everything down. Biden didn't take office until 2021 (when he started correcting Trump's mess).

It would help a lot if those people got corrected right then and there in the moment. But no, we just get more sound bites for the MAGAs to use online of some talking head incorrectly saying, "Obama did this in 2017 to screw the US!" that get shared thousands of times and taken as fact by the smooth-brained.

Yes, the media needs to start calling out the lies as lies. No falsehoods or misrepresenations. But a lie. [/quote]

If you haven't noticed, the media is a shell of its former self and complicit.[/quote]
