We need to know what is said is the truth and the way to do that is to fact check. President’s have lied about events to get the country into wars and Nixon lied about his sending men to break into the Democratic headquarters in the Watergate building. This was against the law. Without fact checking and the free press people in power can get away with doing things against the common good of the people.
