When a right wing flack appears on CNN they question him or her but rarely challenge their answers. I assume that is because they want them to come back. It makes a kind of sense but leaves their lies and obscurantism unchallenged. When a right wing flack comes on MSNBC and tries to mislead or obscure he or she is strenuously challenged.

That same principle should apply to TV news.
So when their guests unload a pile of inaccurate BS on the listener, CNN hosts are derelict in their duty as journalists to sit there and quietly listen to the lies, giving their tacit approval.
Real TV journalists do like the best MSNBC hosts: Real-time fact-check those lying MoFos.
