Barry Ritholz has an excellent post today. He discusses Trump's domination of the news cycle. He also provides some examples for questions reporters should ask:
-Why hasn’t Trump’s massive Corporate tax cut fallen to more people in the middle class?
-Why has it only benefited the top 1%?
-We were told by Steve Mnuchin the corporate tax cuts would not only pay for themselves, but would pay down the national debt. Instead, according to the Congressional Budget Office, it has caused the annual deficit explode.
– Mitch McConnell wants to pay for those tax cuts by slashing Medicare and Social Security – do candidates for the House and Senate support that approach?
-Why did the GOP vote so many times to take away coverage of pre-existing conditions contained in the ACA?
-If it wasn’t for GOP Senator John McCain (a Trump adversary), the ACA and pre-existing conditions protections would have been lost. It was straight party ling vote and McCain did Americans a huge service.
-What was the role of Trump’s incendiary rhetoric in the Tree of Life mass killing of 14 Jewish Worshipers?
-How has Trumps Tariffs impacted farmers in the grain belt?
-How much has Right Wing Rhetoric encourage mentally unstable people like Cesar DICKHEAD to send pipebombs thru the mail to opponents of
-How much has the Trade War caused the stock market to have the worst month in years?
Etc., etc., etc.
