To the editor:
In describing presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s troubled relationship with the facts, I think Doyle McManus is really asking if [sic; should be "whether"] the truth matters. ("How brazenly can a candidate lie and get away with it? We're going to find out with Donald Trump," Opinion, May 18)
Of course it does. All journalists can do is uncover the truth and expose it. That’s been enough to take down a president, turn people against a war and change laws. That’s powerful stuff.
The cumulative effect of repeated truth-telling will have an impact—not with everyone, of course, but with enough people. Don’t despair, just get the truth out there—over and over.

Note from KBJ: I agree wholeheartedly. Journalists should get busy uncovering the truth about Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton, two of the most corrupt politicians in American history.
