      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.

          More broadly, it’s infuriating that “the President is a habitual liar” is not an overarching narrative in mainstream news coverage. You’re not informing your audience if you’re not reminding them regularly that Trump is fundamentally unconcerned with being honest.

          First thing they teach you in journalism school is to make your first paragraph a complete summary of your story for this exact reason

          Agree completely. Headlines like “Trump Lies About Whitaker Relationship” should be running FRONT PAGE EVERY DAY.
