If the media can continue to allow Trump and the MAGAs keep claiming "fake news"

the Dems ought to be relentless in calling them out and to be as forceful in challenging the MSM to be more honest in calling out outright lies. They legitimized Trump's lying and that of his supporters by continuing go cover them in primetime news, as though lying deserved a spot in primetime. It wasn't enough that FOX helped perpetuate the lies but the MSM did so also. Dems should stop every journalist and remind them that they are reporting unfounded and, when necessary, untrue information and we are sick of it. A statement like "You are not being helpful to the American public when you simply repeat the alternate facts or lies of the Republicans by simply reframing them in the form of a question."
