The "media's" job isn't to let lies go unchallenged, no matter who is telling them. Lauer rightly IMO asked a series of pointed questions of Hillary about her emails, then selected a member of the audience who also challenged her directly on the same topic. That is what is supposed to happen. But when Trump repeated the same lies he's told for months now about opposing Iraq and Libya, he said nothing.
let's look back at it from lauer's perspective
when tRump insisted on live TV that he opposed the 'war on terror' in iraq, lauer had no more rebuttal to offer then than any of us do now, many days later. the sole transcript of tRump's support of the war was that howard stern broadcast. to me, that was much too little to be able to offer as rebuttal to challenge tRump's current statement
