Social media users are expressing outrage towards Dr. Phil for his recent interview with former President Donald Trump, in which he allowed Trump to repeatedly spread false claims and lies. The interview took place at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort and many viewers were disappointed by Dr. Phil's failure to challenge or fact-check the misinformation being presented.
Critics took to social media to blast Dr. Phil for what they saw as a softball interview that gave Trump a platform to perpetuate MAGA lies. Many expressed their frustration and disappointment, with some declaring that they were "totally DONE" with Dr. Phil.
The backlash highlights the importance of holding interviewers accountable for allowing misinformation to go unchallenged, especially when it comes from high-profile figures like former presidents. Viewers expect journalists and media personalities to fact-check and push back against false claims, rather than simply providing a platform for them to be spread unchecked.
