I think it's stupid and wrong to give Trump air time to spew lies, but if media outfits decide it's good for ratings or whatever, I propose a change in format.
Instead of fact-checks after the lies have aired, turn it into a contest where viewers--for cash prizes, c'mon!--submit lists predicting the lies ahead of time. I'll leave the details to smarter people but I imagine bells ringing or lights flashing during the 'interview' every time there is a winner. Maybe like bingo? Make it fun!
