MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow made the rounds on a few shows last week where she expressed her worry that a Trump administration will have a serious and negative impact on the profession of “journalism” -- it may "crumble" -- and it “just got different” under the incoming administration.

We can certainly hope so.

Also, her definition of “profession” and mine may be at odds.

Rachel Maddow can dish it out but she can't take it.

Trump supporters: “We respect the Constitution.”
Maddow: “Oh, goody! My enemies are cartoonishly evil!”

Still suffering from the aftertaste of the sh*t sandwich she ate on election night.

Some of the media DESERVES to crumble.

Call it “urban renewal”.

He got it wrong.

The media crumbled under the media.

I agree with her, if she means the lying, bigoted, racist, anti capitalist, enslaving media! I hope she is right.

“profession” jumped out at me too.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving profession.

Her/his definition of media needs to crumble. Perhaps a true and honest media will be reborn. Doubtful though.

If it does, it’s a deserved death.

Breaking News!
Degenerate ‘media’ person bemoans repercussions of self inflected wounds. Whines about well deserved dissolution of her completely non-professional profession.

I never tire of watching this 30-second clip of Rachel Maddow expressing her abject resignation to Trump's victory.

Just remember that prostitution is a “profession” as well.

They aren’t crumbling because of Trump.

There is Trump because they are crumbling.
