Dan Schumacher
The Sanewashing Will Continue (Hour 2)

Circus Journalism (Hour 2)

Better, But… (Hour 2)
This week’s presidential debate showed that moderators can do some fact-checking in real time—even if one of the candidates insists a story about pets being eaten is true because he heard someone say it on TV. Still, only a fraction of Donald Trump’s falsehoods were checked and there was zero success in getting the former president to stop interrupting. Whatever happened to that mic muting idea?

The Sanewashing Must Stop (Hour 2)
Asked in New York on Thursday for a policy to solve the childcare crisis, former President Trump offered two minutes of gibberish with no coherent ideas to address the problem. But you’d never know that from reading mainstream media write-ups. Mark Jacob and others are branding that kind of reporting as “sanewashing,” and they say it’s past time journalists stopped pretending Trump is behaving like any other public official by cherry-picking his words and leaving out the rambling stream of consciousness

Beat the Press, Again (Hour 2)
Former President Donald Trump held something he described as a news conference on Thursday.
