How should the media cover a White House that isn't afraid to lie?

Just continue to report the falsehoods. You need to be careful throwing out the lie accusations because in order to prove it you have to prove an intent to deceive.

He will eventually hang himself just like Nixon did.

WH will not be providing people to CNN, blacklisting CNN for not kneeling to Great Leader Trash.

My guess is the corporate media will "give Trash a chance" and eventually be intimidated ( $$$ ) into compliance or at least silence.

"It Could Happen In America" and it is happening.

It is just not Trash, but the people establishment Repugs are sending into the WH cabinet and agencies to degrade govt into dysfunctionality.

Bannon has already proven that the Exec (Border Patrol, DHS, ICE) will be loyal to the WH, while ignoring court orders, breaking the law.

The Immigration Ban is a Headfake, and We’re Falling For It

Here’s our playbook:

1 We launch a series of Executive Orders in the first week. Beforehand, we identify one that our opponents will complain loudly about and will dominate the news cycle. Immigration ban. Perfect.

2 We craft the ban to be about 20% more extreme than we actually want it to be?—?say, let’s make the explicit decision to block green card holders from defined countries from entering the US, rather than just visa holders.

We create some confusion so that we can walk back from that part later, but let’s make sure that it’s enforced to begin with.

3 We watch our opposition pour out into the streets protesting the extremes of our public measure, exactly as we intended. The protests dominate the news, but our base doesn’t watch CNN anyway. The ACLU will file motions to oppose the most extreme parts of our measure, that’s actually going to be useful too.

We don’t actually care if we win, that’s why we made it more extreme than it needed to be. But in doing so, the lawsuit process will test the loyalty of those enforcing what we say.

4 While the nation’s attention is on our extreme EO, slip a few more nuanced moves through. For example, reconfigure the National Security Council so that it’s led by our inner circle. Or gut the State Department’sability to resist more extreme moves.

That will have massive benefits down the road?—?the NSC are the folks that authorize secret assassinations against enemies of the state, including American citizens. Almost nobody has time to analyze that move closely, and those that do can’t get coverage.

5 When the lawsuits filed by the ACLU inevitably succeed, stay silent. Don’t tell the DHS to abide by the what the federal judge says, see what they do on their own. If they capitulate to the courts, we know our power with the DHS is limited and we need to staff it with more loyal people.

But if they continue enforcing our EO until we tell them not to, we know that we can completely ignore the judicial branch later on and the DHS will have our back.

6 Once the DHS has made their move, walk back from the 20% we didn’t want in the first place. Let the green card holders in, and pretend that’s what we meant all along.

The protestors and the ACLU, both clamoring to display their efficacy, jump on the moment to declare a huge victory. The crowds dissipate, they have to go back to work.

7 When the dust settles, we have 100% of the Executive Order we originally wanted,

we’ve tested the loyalty of a department we’ll need later on,

we’ve proven we can ignore an entire branch of government, and

we’ve slipped in some subtle moves that will make the next test even easier.

We’ve just tested the country’s willingness to capitulate to a fascist regime.

With adoration if they follow precedent

Hillary lost OP

By colluding to push favorable narratives while downplaying unfavorable stories.

I would think it's pretty serious to have a senator whose father helped murder a sitting president. Trump should start an investigation into it before Teddy's pappy does it again.
