There were lots of fact checks, and more to come. Enough? Maybe not. What I want to see though is some more reporting on just how unhinged that presser was. The guy came off as stark raving mad. You cannot just report that he spewed out the normal lies. This was all that but on steroids.

Check out Lawrence O'Donnell's opening comments on his show last night. He was ruthless in his takedown of the media who were there, including reporters from his own network, NBC.
I did watch that. Boy was he angry. But I got the (mistaken?) impression that most of the news media there were of the Trump-friendly type (perhaps someone was vetting who was going to get through the doors of Mar-a-Lago). Why else would they have been so quiet when they just witnessed perhaps the largest collection of outright lies ever spewed from Trump's lips. If in fact the news media covering that event were from many of the "not-as-Trump-friendly" major outlets (ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, etc), then yes there is plenty of explaining to do. But it doesn't make sense.
