It is less than two weeks before the US election and the mainstream media is finally starting to use the word “lie” with reference to Donald Trump. It only took four years.

Previously, the media only used euphemisms. “Falsehood”, “untruth”, “misspoke”, “incorrect”, etc. It’s no wonder respect for the media is so low.

It will be interesting to see if the ban on the ‘L word’ has finally been breached or whether this is just the media getting caught up in the election fever.

Especially if Trump wins.
