Truth vs. Fiction in the race for the White House

The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward joins Morning Joe and talks with host Mika Brzezinski and panelist Mike Barnicle about the media’s responsibility in reporting on the presidential campaign, specifically on the irresponsible statements made by Republican nominee Donald Trump. “He says one outrageous thing after another, nearly every single day,” says Barnicle. “Are we playing it too loosely by branding it as just another campaign statement? Or should we be looking more and more at who this man really is on the stage, on the campaign stage, as he just disassembles language in front of us?” Hear Woodward’s answer here and the rest of the conversation about truth v. fiction when it comes to presidential rhetoric.
