How do you explain his approval rating continuing to fall? I think the constant focus on his petty lies adds to it personally.

So let the president lie?


On some things, absolutely. Calling out Trump on everything he says dilutes the potency of the stronger charges of lying on important issues. Throwing everything at the wall and seeing what sticks is never effective persuasively.

In the absence of anything political, Trump directly lying about numbers is messed up and should be corrected. Why in the world are you saying it doesn't matter?

I'm not so sure that those numbers are any more reliable than the pre-election polls.

I think the press should correct the president when he lies about god making the sun shine when he took the oath of office.

Unless we think 1984 was hysterical ravings and not a cautionary tale.

I can only assume this is you thinking about it from an left vs right standpoint.
Surelyl pointing out minor lies does not help the left, because as you said it dilutes his bigger lies, but it's still something you do, not to bring him down but to show his lies.
Which is probably hard to grasp if you believe the media to be mere tools of the left.
