A genuine question for those in media.
Is the current failure of journalists to confront dishonest responses from politicians and public figures a libel law thing, a fear of being denied access, a cherry picking of interviewers, or just a lack of subject knowledge in reporters?

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Saying natural gas is green in relation to coal was even a dodgy argument twenty years or more ago. But, now that coal is in such sharp decline, gas being positively compared to coal is a complete red herring. It's effectively being compared to the MEMORY of coal.
