The Media Are About to Help Trump Fail His Way Back to the White House

Frida Ghitis : Kamala Harris was asked about Donald Trump's remark that she "turned Black" She said: "Same old, tired playbook. Next question. What’s to evade? What is to evade?" She says it's emblematic of what the media in this country is doing so badly in covering this race.

Ghitis says this isn't the most glaring recent example of the press lying down on the job.

LZ Granderson: Donald Trump's remarks about transgender kids were false and poisonous.

LZ: He said a lot of strange things at a Moms for Liberty conference, but the media covered it.

He says a reality-based article would have focused on Harris ' housing plan, but Trump 's plan isn't mentioned.

He said mass deportation as a housing policy is a racist, authoritarian, racist proposal to deport millions of people, LZ says.

Ruben Navarrette : At rallies, Trump lies constantly, makes toxic accusations ceaselessly.

He asks why aren't news organizations analyzing and deconstructing those speeches? He says journalism’s fundamental job is to tell the truth, but many think “fairness” is more important.

He says the media's failing today is the urge to put fairness ahead of truth.
