*When [the bullshitter] is peddling outrageous lies, where is the line between reporting and enabling?*

My answer, for around four years, is: cover what he does, and don't be distracted by what he says. There is no reason to quote his lies, and in most cases no reason to talk about them except occasionally to show what sort of attack on truth he is launching.

The writer seems to argue that the existence of millions of Americans who believe his lies makes them somehow more worthy of press coverage. I disagree. The writer also think it makes a difference that a typical lie says something his followers already believe, rather than "inventing" it. That's because it was invented by previous lies, not by the latest one. Same difference.

The existence of his supporters is an important fact, and covering that fact is valid, but does not require quoting him.
