Media's Response to Fact-Checking
The recent vice presidential debate highlighted the timid approach of media outlets towards political fact-checking, especially concerning candidates like J.D. Vance. The response from Trump and his supporters to a single instance of fact-checking illustrates their strategy of bullying the media into submission.
