"No one can terrorize a whole nation,

Gerard T. Baker, Editor-in-Chief of the Wall Street Journal, has announced that his paper refuses to use the word "lie" with respect to Donald Trump, even when Trump is lying.
Baker claims that the word "lie" means there was a deliberate intent to deceive. He believes accusing Trump of telling lies (even if they are lies) will suggest bias, a lack of neutral reporting, and irresponsible journalism.
Perhaps Baker is unaware the dictionary also defines a lie as: "an inaccurate or false statement; a falsehood." The refusal of Baker and the WSJ to call Trump out on his lies demonstrates their lack of journalistic integrity.
It also indicates the WSJ is biased in favor of Trump. As such, I call upon everyone to boycott and cancel your subscriptions to the Wall Street Journal immediately.
Trivia: The News Corporation owns the WSJ and Fox News. This demonstrates, more than ever, how vigilant we must be with respect to which media sources we trust.
