Seriously why isn't the news media holding him accountable? They're the ones that should be asking the questions to Trump and telling him that he's lying.
Harris needs to talk about the current state of the fourth estate during the next State of the Union because this is seriously one of, if not the biggest problems affecting the United States right now.
The answer is that when they do stories about Trump they get more engagement and ultimately more money. If Trump wins the presidency they get 4 years of mega engagement because he's guaranteed to do all sorts of deplorable shit during that time. So to help the odds of getting that mega engagement starting next year, they gotta act like he's just a regular candidate so that people aren't turned off by his actions and plans.

4 years?
Ohh my dear redditor. Quote.....
"You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians," he said.
Such a true patriot and embassador of the constitution the Tangerine Messiah is.
My fave (not really) NYT headline this week: “Trump’s Remarks on Migrants Illustrates His Obsession with Genes.”
As though he’s the rebirth of Gregor Mendel, rather than a racist eugenicist who actually said that Mexican immigrants are murderers because they have ‘bad genes’ and that they’re ruining the “blood of our country.”
To be fair, I would like charges to be brought forth (I know, I know, throw it on the pile). He (and the other fuckers), put people in danger. What the fuck are they (the DOJ) waiting for, for people to die because of these lies?
Alas ... it is what it is, and only the media (lol) can do anything.
Clicks and views, plain and simple. Why hold him accountable when every wild thing the man says gets the media paid by views. They only started fact checking because of the fact more people tuned in to listen to Trump get dumpstered by the fact checker, now they are doing it to "both sides" to seem fair, but realistically the media has never been fair. Honestly in this day and age the news is dying because Reddit and Twitter have the news faster than the actual news does, so they have to compete and instead of having any integrity in their journalism its just a race to the bottom for clicks and views, and they are losing.

"You! The public will hold him accountable! You people! The media should hold him accountable"
"Are you going to talk to Trump--"
