They do not care about democracy.
They lie and repeat lies, all the time.
They want to destroy democratic institutions.
I'm sick of the media playing this "both sides" game. One of the sides has abandoned reason and democracy. So do the right thing, and stop reporting their garbage.

(52,230 posts)The story, if there is one at all, is that they lied. What their lie was may or may not be part of the story; but if it is, it should not be the headline or in the first paragraph.
As a small example, "tens of thousands at rally, trump says" is a horrible headline. "Trump exaggerates crowd size" is the story. The specific claim of tens of thousands should be around paragraph 8, also followed by a clear statement that photos and tickets indicate far fewer.
Simply repeating what they say is merely amplifying propaganda.

Republicans revoke your rights
and kill democracy!
They've outlined their plans if they win, and those include replacing your vote with their selection.
