I have listened to President Trump and his supporters complaining that the the press "picks" on him. With this unorthodox president there is much criticism expressed by the population and the media.

But the fault lies with the president for a number of reasons. In fact he is a liar. Facts are not opinions. His falsehoods range from being "stretchers" to being "pants on fire." According to reputable fact checkers he has told more than 500 falsehoods since his inauguration.

Are the media supposed to give him a pass for this? In addition, many of his lies concern the behavior of other people. Character assassination is a part of his behavior. Trump has little knowledge of science, recent history and our Constitution, among other things. Without a free press, the public would not be served.
