You can measure the quality of news outlets' political coverage by how often they write headlines starting with the words "Trump says" that don't show any skepticism about what Trump is saying even though he's the most prominent American liar of modern times.

It’s stunning that an entire political party is willing to live with this and, worse, exploits efforts to prevent gun violence to hang on to power.
