Wow. And I thought Coneheads were only on Saturday Night Live.

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 that’s 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 don’t 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. That’s the way dictators win, they drive the free press almost to exhaustion with this."

But, they are not partisan, and have no agenda.
He does this so often that they haven't changed their soiled clouts in two years.
A Dictatorship? Huh? These pantywaists live in an alternate universe.
Try processing thousands upon thousands of illegal invaders.
Shillmedia lying about what Trump said and then they claim fact checking!!!
A lifetime of daily soy enemas show in his face...
Heaven’s Gate still exist?
Anyone at CNN fact checking Adam Shiff?
Wow. And I thought Coneheads were only on Saturday Night Live.
Has anyone seen their list or are they keeping it secret? It’s hard to defend an accusation with no substance.
“That’s the way dictators win...”
No it’s not, you moron. Dictators beat the media by having them arrested in the middle of the night and hauled away to prison.
It is SO hard to fight stupid.
Every time you turn on the TV the fact checkers are overwhelmed from the main stream professional liars.
CNN and MSNBC just leads the pack.
Since these snowflakes believe Trump lies like a rug, fact checking should be easy. It becomes time consuming only when the checkers have to dig deeper than a salt mine shaft until they find a tweet or speech marred by bad punctuation.
Poor Commie libs..they only care about “Immigrants” who will come to this country and vote Democrat that is all they care about..and Im sick of people calling illegals “Illegal immigrants” they are NOT immigrants, immigrants are people like my parents who came to this country LEGALLY, made a business for themselves, and contributed to society..illegals come here, connect Govt goodies, and WE have to pay for it
I wish Trump would go full dictator and show these dumb asses what a REAL dictator does, since they love the likes of Maduro, etc..throw them in jail
I always enjoy watching Zurawick on the telly.
He’s such a tool.
I guess it is kinda hard when you are so used to spinning DNC talking points when you write your articles.
Why not just take the President’s word for it, you know , like you did with Obama.
It is unfortunate that this bum won’t be fired, shunned and exiled for being such a duplicitous, biased dupe. I bet his cats use his head as a cat-litter-box at night.
Your health insurance premiums will go down.
If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.
I will be the best friend Israel ever had.
So, OK did CNN fact check any of that or did they just genuflect and parrot Obama’s lies? Let’s be fair. All presidents, either through poor information or pomposity tell falsehoods. It’s completely irresponsible for journalists to cover up the falsehoods of one party’s leader while going to extremes to criticize the other.
It would also help with this president if you grew a sense of humor.
