That was a lot of the discussion this weekend on Meet the Press. Essentially, what does the media need to do to regain that credibility and do their jobs effectively. I had never watched the show before, but it was very interesting and I got sucked in.
As to the OP, I am mixed. If a false statement is made, I think it should be labeled as false. I get the whole idea of calling it a lie being seen as a judgment rather than an objective statement. I said Sean Spicer lied this morning because he should have known better, and if he didn't then that us shameful, but not every false statement is necessarily done purposefully or with extreme negligence.
