During the Overtime segment of Bill Maher's Real Time, the host and his panel -- which included author Bob Woodward, comedian Sarah Silverman, commentator Cornell Belcher, and journalists Katty Kay and Bret Stephens -- were pressed to figure out a way for the press to handle President Donald Trump's lies and expose his as a fraud.
According to Kay, journalists need to band together and share stories that focus, laser-like, on the important topics and not get caught up in Trump's sideshows.
Woodward concurred, by saying journalists need to also avoid getting into spats with Trump.
"We're taking the bait in the press," Woodward explained. "Trump is just throwing it out on the table and saying, 'You're the enemy of the people,' and then we get all steamy and emotionally unhinged about it."
"The way to work together is when the New York Times or the BBC have a great story and the Washington Post needs to follow it and dig and get specifics and make the case for the truth," he added.
New York Times columnist Stephens jumped into to call out Trump's massive volume of lies that obscure the truth by invoking a quote attributed to Russian strongman Joseph Stalin who reportedly once said, "A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic."
