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."

It’s wiwy, wiwy, hawd to be a twumphatah!
“telling so many lies as to exhaust the free press into silence.”......seriously, free press? The conservative news sites are getting shut down, so I assume they are referring to the alphabet channels.
If he was really a “dictator”, then you wouldn’t have to worry about “fact-checking”.
Feckless loser,thy name is Zuwarik. He is another unknown scribbler, who thinks he is a hero for attacking our president every day. Yet, the President’s approval poll is trending upward, the economy is doing nicely, and we receive daily blessings.
The President will be re-elected, and his enemies will be crushed.
Alas....No Collusion. No Obstruction.
This is nothing new. Heck, last century, Nixon made a whole speech about Checkers.
“they drive the free press almost to exhaustion with this.”
I’ve met many so-called journalists and observed them in the wild. They get exhausted from lifting girlie SJW cocktails at the local waterhole and doing a face-plant into the bar rail.
So everything you disagree with is a lie? Gotcha.
Drooling snowflakes.
Hint to “expert”: In a real dictatorship, people who claim to be fact checking the leader are sent to reeducation camps and/or never seen again. Also, the fact checkers just had an eight year vacation so I’m not concerned about the workload now.
They drive themselves to exhaustion trying to run down anonymous sources to back their lies.
CNN journalism expert?
Bwahaha.
That’s like saying the local hooker is a sex expert.

“CNN Journalism Expert”
Why don’t they give him a title of something more real like “Bigfoot”?
