    http://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2018/11/cant-media-state-even-trumps-obvious-lies-liesOne … of the reasons journalists feel okay evading the L-word is they figure the text of the story will expose this fact. For instance, this story contrasts Trump’s lie with known facts about his relationship with Whittaker.

        But what this fails to take into consideration is 90% of readers get no further than the headline and the first paragraph. Now, if you’re a writer, that’s infuriating. You don’t want to reward people for being lazy and stupid.

        But our democracy is being dismantled, so we can’t get precious about this shit. So journalists and editors need to know: Unless the word “lie” is in the headline, you’re burying the lede.

        God, yes. I hear this precise dynamic a dozen times a week on NPR. You can tell the reporter thinks the lie is self-evident so it doesn’t “need” to be said. (Sometimes the most you’ll get is a little knowing chuckle with the host)

        I clearly recall from 2016 some sort of roundtable discussion on NPR where they were wringing their hands aloud over how they couldn't come out and say "lie" or "lying" because they didn't want to "look biased." Well, here we are.
