Where was the major fact checking of all the lies Trump told?

Then there was the generating of polling questions to support the withdrawal of the President, which was not the job of the media.Once again, it is the Black Press that emerges as the true “Trusted Messenger” not manipulating the news for ratings. “We the People” must not allow our silence to give consent to such media coverage.</div></body>
