if they turned their attention to exposing and reporting the corruption, the bigotry, the destructive policies, the crimes, rather than providing a platform for repeated lies and obfuscations.

By giving a platform to Trump et. al, and thereby spreading their lies throughout the world, the legitimate media are turning themselves into faux and faux enablers. The sooner they realize that, the sooner this monster of an administration will be exposed for what it's been all along--a subversion of everything decent about this nation.
