roll their eyes....and then tweet a "fake news" quote for the millionth time as if it's a legitimate or newsworthy thing to report, and then make it the headline on cable. Barely a day goes by that we don't broadcast the president calling our own reporting fake

It’s so important that we are tough on ideas and gentle with one other right now. I have no idea what the right way to cover this wall to wall lying is. I’m glad y’all care.
-
Yeah. I'd never argue this isn't difficult and complicated. But I definitely don't think us (media members) constantly parroting the president's "fake news" language --- even to debunk or "fact check" it -- has worked, in fact I'm convinced it's done the opposite

Imagine another scenario: if every Obama staffer had spent all of 2007 tweeting "Republicans again falsely claiming Obama is a socialist Muslim who hates America!" - I think we'd all agree that would have been ineffective messaging
-
Would “Trump makes false and racist claim about Obama” have been better? Likewise, today, something more along the lines of, “Trump again tries to dodge responsibility for controversial remarks”? Or, “Trump attempts to deny saying what journalists recorded him saying on tape”?
-
"Trump attempts to brush off" or "...dodges responsibility" could work. If direct quote -- "fake news" -- is clearly false, no reason to *repeat the direct quote*. When I ask a police department for a statement and half of it is BS, I paraphrase - not run a direct quote of the BS
