Back in the day journalists wouldn't have been able to publish a story covering what you just quoted. It had to be factual. But that was ripped away, unfortunately. Hell, before Trump and Conway outlets would still point out when someone was flat out lying. But "alternate facts" get more views so they went along with it.

Liable should come up more, imo. I don't know why it doesn't.
