CNN just like NBC and others MUST confront politicians lies. Outright lies. It is their duty to make sure they do not assist politicians spread verifiable misinformation & lies via their media outlets. Whether it's TV, Radio or Newspapers. By not confronting these politicians, they are in effect enabling this bad behavior. The media seems to have taken the position that it is the responsibility of the viewer & reader to ascertain fact from fiction. And THAT continues the dumbing down of the electorate. This dis-association from the truth by the media is very disturbing. The Fox News virus seems to be spreading in favor of viewership !!
