Trump Campaign Says Media Shouldn't Be Fact Checkers.

https://thinkprogress.org/trump-no-factcheck-please-56950561d41c?source=featured

This is a chilling statement that gives a major clue as to how the media will be shuttered by a Trump regime. What should the media do then, just rollover and confirm all Trump lies as the truth. Orwell would be proud.

If she has to spend her time exposing his lies, she looks negative and doesn't have as much opportunity to get her own point across.

Wouldn't want their boy's LIES to be outed publicly, would they? People might not vote for someone whose lies were transparent enough to be checked on the spot by some media person. Why, it's UNFAIR to be expected to tell the truth to people!
