President Trump's daily pandemic press briefings have become a staple of cable television—that is, until his lies inevitably become so outrageous many of them switch away.

Twitter immediately fell in love with the nameless, faceless creator of the honest chyrons.
Others were more critical of CNN for making it clear they knew how destructive President Trump's words could be, but choosing to air them anyway.
