        seems like a tough standard. Sometimes people say things that are untrue unintentionally. Pattern of behavior can reveal intent.

        The TV media need that hammer. Cut the mic, stop letting them appear, etc. Should have been done for a year.

        still no downside for an unnamed source to lie to a print reporter because he's never exposed as a liar.https://twitter.com/jonallendc/status/777573931205230592 …
