There is a solution to broadcasting Trump's lies without fact-checking. [View all]

Because he lies so rapidly and so much that it is not possible to correct him in a live news conference. He used the same tactic in his debate with Joe Biden.

The solution is to not broadcast him "live". Put him on a 5-minute delay so that fact-checkers can correct his lies and inform the people in a more fair way. If he refuses to that format, do not cover him at all.

It is a disservice to all of America to permit the lies to pass without comment or correction.
