Brian Stelter, host of "Reliable Sources" on CNN, talks with Recode's Peter Kafka about being a cable news host during the historic 2016 presidential election. He argues that the media needs to re-evaluate how it treats politicians' lies, pointing to the differing treatment of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

Instead, he wonders why more presidential candidates couldn't learn from and emulate Trump's media savvy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
