Great piece.
Honestly, I do not understand how media figures (Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, Steven Colbert, etc.) could read a devastating piece like this and not come to the conclusion that maybe — just maybe — they are grossly unreasonable, unfair, unbalanced, and deceitful.
1) They would not read a piece like this - they are only allowed to read the NYT - "All the News that Fits".
2) They all ARE "unreasonable, unfair, unbalanced, and deceitful" - that is who they are.
They don’t care, they have neither journalistic integrity or any visible type of morality. For the most part, these are very nasty people who don’t have a ghost of religious thought or ethical standards. Plus they have to “fit in” with the crowd in Hollywood and New York - the slightest recognition that Trump is a legitimate president (I think Jimmy Fallon tried to be objective and he’s been ostracized) renders them outcasts which they can’t bear.
I was told one-on-one by a prominent (anti-gun) journalist that it’s more honest to report in a manner that tells a larger truth than it is to get the facts of an individual story right. They don’t care about facts - they are #FakeNews.
And yet, for all that and more, Barack Obama certainly did not warrant articles of impeachment
Because ideology and emotion trump logic, reason, and rationality.
You are dealing with people who cannot think straight. Moreover they cannot get over their own visceral, irrational hatred of DJT.
