Why do people (so-called journalists) in the media allow politicians to make complete lies in their interviews? In effect, members of the media become accessories to this lying by allowing it to go through without question. Are they supporters of the lying camp? really, not always.
I think the answer is that they know they won't get more interviews if they call candidates out on lying. So they let it pass. Their reputations depend on landing the interviews with big candidates and politicians. So they sell their souls to advance themselves. And, meanwhile, the listening/watching public gets nothing but falsehoods and no intelligent criticism.
That's really evil. How can democracy survive in a system like this?
Thanks for the internet that allows many other resources of information.
