9. Go to war against rival news outlets’ dishonesty.
Fox News trashes rival networks in order to make its audience think everyone in media is lying except for Fox. Legitimate media should employ this tactic for good – to alert the public when other outlets lie to them.

8. State unvarnished truths.
Trump is building a dictatorship. Say it. There’s a mountain of evidence to support that obvious conclusion. He’s not “testing the boundaries of the presidency.” He’s building a dictatorship. Tell the truth. Warn the public.

7. Don’t give liars the headlines they want.
A recent NBC headline: “FDA claims Covid shots killed 10 children and vows new vaccine rules.” The summary underneath: “Vaccine experts said the memo was irresponsible ...” NBC should've swapped the headline and summary.

6. Reject normalization of corruption and insanity.
Much of what’s happening in government now – especially Trump’s assault on the rule of law – goes against long-held American principles. The news media need to remind people of that and explain why it matters.

5. If a newsmaker has a history of lying, say so.
Some might consider it biased to write: “Trump, who has lied about unveiling a health care plan for nearly a decade, said Tuesday: ‘I have concepts of a plan.’” In fact, such a sentence would provide helpful context.

4. Boot people off the air if they repeatedly lie.
TV hosts should fact-check liars in real time, and if guests don’t accept the proven facts, the interview should end immediately – and they shouldn’t be invited back. News media must break their addiction to access.

3. Interrupt aggressively.
A common trick of liars is to make a false statement and then keep talking and talking, sometimes changing the subject so the lie seems too far in the past for an interviewer to return to it. So interrupt right away, in mid-sentence.

2. Get the fact check as close to the lie as possible.
Put graphics on the screen that call out the falsehoods in real time. Or hit the pause button on presidential speeches and explain why a statement was false, then resume broadcasting the speech.

1. Let no lie reach the audience unchallenged.
We see it all the time on TV: Trump and co-conspirators deliver a string of lies, and one or none are corrected. The media should adopt a firm goal to never let anyone use their platform to lie to their audience uncorrected.
