"So ask the questions over and over and over. If he says he doesn’t know, ask him why he doesn’t know. When he lies, interrupt him to say he’s lying. And say it that way: “That’s a lie. You’re lying.” Show Trump the respect he deserves. Which is none." This is the way.

You can measure the quality of news outlets' political coverage by how often they write headlines starting with the words "Trump says" that don't show any skepticism about what Trump is saying even though he's the most prominent American liar of modern times.
