I find it frustrating that so many journalists are way too eager to not offend when even the most blatant of lies are thrown into their faces.

Me too. I posted an article yesterday about the possibility of CNN picking up the fact checking banner for cable TV. One of the biggest reasons they won’t is because companies are adverse to controversy, complaints and boycott threats. The fact checking will probably just remain on a few dedicated outlets (Politifact, Fact Check, Glenn Kesler). Journalists will still cite the fact checkers but offshoring it removes them from responsibility and limits activist backlash.
