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

I’m tempted to agree with you, but in order for CNN to do this successfully, all the networks will have to do so. Otherwise, people will find it suspicious that CNN isn’t covering the White House but Fox News is, and will automatically think that means Fox News is more reliable. Maybe CNN et al should explain/debunk White House communications, which is way more productive than ignoring them, and would be a welcome deviation from simply parroting them for the sake of trying to be neutral.
