As always, you'll find more from the source, but Prof. Cole's opening statements pretty much nail it:
The right wing of the Republican Party has a problem with the truth. The American press corps has an addiction to euphemisms.
Either one of those would be bad, but in combination they're a disaster. It's one thing for a politician to lie-- that's expected. What we're not getting is anyone with a megaphone big enough to matter calling them on it.
