I appreciate mainstream media's efforts to hold Trump and other public officials accountable to the truth.

It is outrageous that a person can use the power of the Oval Office to intentionally misinform the public for their own personal and political gain.

It is always questionable when a government withholds truth, or in times of conflict or real crisis, stretches the truth for jingoistic or propaganda purposes. At least there is some claim to serving national interests, however misguided.

But Trump's continuous reliance of propagating falsehoods to further his political agenda is unconscionable and for all reasonable people with an ounce of integrity and respect for the truth, intolerable.
