Is media growing a backbone? Or is this a one off?

Allowing trump to lie for years & not calling out his blatant, numerous, & obvious lies & now finally admitting he lies like others breathe is not exactly great journalism!!
NY times has not done the right thing for years.enabling the blatant lies is not great journalism.

I'm glad, but no truth sandwich and an opening paragraph that's all lies. (As a writer, I get it, but it's irresponsible under the circumstances.)
