On Monday, Goucher College journalism professor and longtime Baltimore Sun media critic David Zurawik accused President Donald Trump of using a dictator tactic telling so many lies as to exhaust the free press into silence.
"He says something thats really offensive about immigrants, and then Tucker Carlson says immigration makes us a dirtier country," Zurawik said. "That is really destructive to American life."
He urged journalists to fight back. "We have to denounce it, but every time we do that, every time we chase that down, he is setting the agenda for what we cover, and none of us, I dont think any of us have figured that out yet," the professor argued.
Yet the free press can't stop fact-checking Trump either, Zurawik argued. "He drives us to exhaustion. If we quit fact-checking him, if we accept this, he wins. Thats the way dictators win, they drive the free press almost to exhaustion with this."

Poor POOR tired and exhausted darlings.
Too tired to learn to code.
Fact Checkers hit the hardest!
you mean they’re not tired of lying for the left, but they’re tired of lying MORE when they “fact check”? I get it now s/
Now that is funny.
Trump is setting the agenda and getting in their heads. At that, he is a master!
These can’t be the ones that fact checked Obama as they all died from exhaustion.
Well, they had 8 years of rest......................
They’re spending so much time trying to show that Trump is lying that they don’t have much time left over to manufacture new lies to broadcast.
If they can’t drive the agenda instead of just reporting the news they go crazy.
I thought journalists were supposed to be checking facts. Isn’t that their core function, to find out facts and report them?
David Zurawi, you stupid twit...If Trump were a dictator, you’d be making little rocks outta big rocks in some hell n hole right now...
CNN/FACT CHECKER: Isn’t that oxymoronic?
Poor Baby, could you imagine how hard it would be t LIE to everyone, everyday, about everything and call it NEWS by a Free Press!!!
FAKE fact Checkers is more like it.
He’s making the job of the Ministry of Propaganda SO HARD.
He keeps telling the truth.
Talk about an oxymoron...CNN Journalism Expert.
Yes, poor darlings is right. They should check themselves into a concentration camp where they can concentrate on how dumb, biased and out of touch they are.
A case of leftish media shouting ‘wolf’ endlessly.
They couldn’t tell the ‘truth’ if they tried any more (as if they ever cared), and now can only whine about themselves being so attacked for being degenerate liars - the enemies of Truth.
A leftist ‘fact checker’ is an Oxymoron.
Obvious heavy thinker.
Uh, if Trump were truly a dictator, would anyone be fact checking him?
