I don't understand why the News hasn't just started doing news with that old fashion 'Truth in Broadcasting' method. Trump says this...then show clips where he said something else...end the piece with something "CNN believes journalism should show both sides"

It use to be a law....when Trump declares Hillary brought up Birthers back in 2008, It should not be left by the News station without some factual corrections. The News can't keep just repeating the propaganda without pointing out the story has other aspects. It's not a complete News story unless the Media starts doing this on their own. Yes, they will get attacked for doing it...but if all the actual News stations start 'finishing' the stories, it will be pretty easy to see who doesn't like it.

Propaganda not corrected by the media only helps the spreading deceitful corruption.
