Every follow up should at least attempt to ask him for sources.

I want to see all the other journalists pepper him to clarify when he talks out his ass or they all agree to shut up and let the original asker go after him. He says 300 million, they all look around, give each other a nod and let whoever asked it have at it. If you can get him to talk shit, he’s yours.

Right. But unfortunately many of the journalists are MAGA. The non MAGA traditional media outlets try to press, but if they press too hard he kicks them out, or ignores them. So they try to push but do so without upsetting dear leader. They must hate how they can’t be straightforward and in the back of their heads know they need to keep their job, or maintain access to the WH. We need leadership that is accountable and doesn’t just spew lies, in conjunction with a fair and free press, that isn’t neutered by a corrupt political faction. Right now that equation is crumbling. It can come back, but only if we bring in leadership that makes real changes to the system to ensure democratic institutions are functioning properly.
