I don't understand why its a bad thing for me to want politicians called out on their lies....it informs the public. If Obama starts citing some numbers to prove a point, I find it useful if the media can tell me whether those numbers are true or misconstrued. I personally find politifact to be one of the most useful news sources for this reason.....especially during debate season. |
Report the facts. If they lied, back it up with a fact.
It's completely feasible for a news outlet to remain completely objective.
