Following up on this post, this article details how the American press has and continues to normalize Twamp. One found Twamp "subdued and serious," one approved of appointing Bannon and Sessions, one found accurate criticism "too harsh." Why? Because they need access to the President for their ratings, so to hell with accuracy and truth. Any time they approached the truth Twamp and his supporters called them liars so the press backed off, again due to their bottom line.
Same with Twamp supporters. Now they're willing to excuse the racism, misogyny, nativism, anti-Semitism
and Islamophobia because we think Twamp voters have legitimate gripes. Because the press missed the legitimate gripes of the masses they are now kowtowed into forgiving all the hideous prejudices that went along with it. Yes, liberal politicians need to understand the public's anger and address it appropriately. But that's not the presses' job; they are to report on the truth and not only failed miserably but are also complicit in the rise of the Fourth Reich. Nice job.
