Yep. The standard response to any query should be ‘What is the basis for your claim?’

Despotism (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)

A community is low on a Respect scale if common courtesy is withheld from large groups of people on account of their political attitudes.
...in a downright despotism opposition is dangerous whether the despotism is official or whether it is unofficial...
A community rates low on the Information scale when the press, radio, and other channels of communication are controlled by only a few people and when citizens have to accept what they are told.
See how a community trains its teachers
...these students are being taught to accept uncritically whatever they are told. Questions are not encouraged.
And if books and newspapers and the radio [and facebook and youtube and...] are officially controlled the people will read and accept exactly what the few in control want them to. Government censorship is one form of control. The newspaper that breaks the government censorship rule can be suspended. It is also possible for newspapers and other lines of communication to be controlled by private interests...
Democracy (Encyclopedia Britannica film, circa 1946)

The newspapers of a real democracy meet these tests...
Newspaper checks.
1. Balance of coverage
2. Disclosure of source
3. Competence of staff
We need to death march anonymous sources!
Team Trump should not consent to any taped news interviews. The interviews should be live, and every single time the reporter plays that “gotcha” game, he should be challenged — fiercely.
The press would have nowhere to hide. <<
I pray for that day!!!!......from your lips to Gods ear!
They should always say An anonymous source? You expect me to respond to someone so cowardly they wont stand behind his words? Sorry, I dont address fairytales

Good article!
Mulvaney shot back, "Oh, that's just absurd," and tried to move on, but Wallace resisted and the typical TV back-and-forth ensued.
It's time for Team Trump to get smart about this. Mulvaney let Wallace off the hook. Not only should he have refused to answer the question but he also should have put Wallace on the spot instead.

Priss Wallass should take a flying leap..........
