Networks better have panels of Healthcare professionals ready to rebut any wild claims coming...

from the Republican national convention this week. Especially claims of miracle vaccine or cures and/or downplaying the severity of the virus and any other fallacious claims like masks should be voluntary or kids cannot get infected.

They cannot let any such mis-information be broadcast nationally. Lives are at stake here.

And call him the liar he is . He's a dangerous corrupt serial liar, and they need too stop allowing him to promote propaganda openly on their networks . They also need to speak about how great Biden did, and was honest.
