I just watched an interview in which a "journalist" interviewed Speaker Mike Johnson, who made one false statement after another about the Republican candidate's administration. As I watched, I kept quietly muttering to the screen what the "journalist" wouldn't say: "That's not true."
Journalism 101, yet again: Your job isn't to report that one person says it's raining while another says it's sunny. Your job is to look out the window and find out the truth. #Journalism #Democracy #VoteBlue
