The bickering over truth while it should be important isn't important with Trump. Maybe just run a fact check side bar. Or a CNN type scrawl at the bottom of the screen
The media has an obligation to do both. They have a responsibility to hold the powerful in check by insuring they tell the truth. When they fabricate information, that needs to be exposed as a lie and then show the negative impact it has on policy.
