Sunday on CNN’s ‘Reliable Sources,” while discussing the network misreporting on alleged contacts between Donald Trump Jr. and Wikileaks, The Atlantic senior editor David Frum said the worst mistakes press organizations have made has occurred during an “overzealous effort to be fair to the president.”

Frum said, “When we talk about the press we exclude Fox when we talk press organization that have an interest in finding truth. So excluding Fox, the worst mistakes that press organizations have made in the coverage of Trump has precisely occurred in their effort — their overzealous effort to be fair to the president.”

He added, “How do you fairly report the fact that the president lies tall time and he recruits people to work for him that lie all the time?”
