TC Won't Give In To Lies<p>Nick Robinson perfectly correct on the threat from partisan news.</p><p>Look what Fox, Sinclair and Limbaugh did to America.

It's a strategy, not some failing of skill.</p><p>Worse, the media gives them plenty of time, lightly fact checking but still giving them all the gravitas of a real political party. This is how fascism gets normalised.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ProDemocracyMediaNeeded" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProDemocracyMediaNeeded</span></a></p>

These Trump apologists go on air *to be punching bags* just to get their lies out. It's about counter programming and sowing confusion.</p><p>There is zero reason for a news program to host a proven liar or gaslighter. None!
