It's high time those working in the media make up their minds.

Are they reporting news?

Are they in the bread & circuses business?

Reporting a politician's already debunked lies without stating they're lies puts them squarely in the second category.

Britain deserves better!
For example, we should have no more reports of "Labour's £2,400 tax". That's a fiction the Tories invented.

So any time a clip of a Tory politician is played in which they mention the figure, the news anchor should prefix or postfix the clip with the fact that they're lying.
There aren't two sides to a lie. It's not the same as an opinion. It's just a lie.
The other aspect of this is to stop inviting representatives from shadowy think tanks onto their programmes. They're paid mouthpieces for a specific, usually extreme, political position. Even less likely to have a sensible conversation than the politicians are.
