And if he can, in fact, be so easily demonstrated to be lying, then his libel suit will fail outright.

Very occasionally I've heard NPR and a precious few other formal outlets contradict his unambiguous lies. The NPR's ombudsman during Trump's first interminable administration famously engaged in astonishing contortions to explain why Trump's objectively verifiable lies aren't lies, in fact.

So I'd welcome a new trend in which the media actually contradicts his lies in real time by running such contradictory stories. Better still, don't catapult his lies 24/7 while offering only a tepid refutation.
