ABC let Trump’s border czar lie on air. Again. As Josh Levs explains, “When networks know guests will lie—and air them anyway—that’s a failure.”
Note to media: For heaven’s sake, fact check Trump’s team
Week after week, Trump administration officials repeat the same bad information on Sunday morning talk shows. It doesn't have to be this way.

Teachers also raised concerns about parents who refuse to accept school rules or take responsibility for their children’s behaviour. Continue reading...

The American public is no longer buying Trump's "blame Biden" excuse. Latest economy polls are DISASTROUS for Trump. In March, 21% blamed Trump for economy. Halfway into April, 52% now blame Trump for bad economy. He's -29 points with independent voters who have abandoned Trump.
