As Donald Trump’s detractors grow increasingly loud and desperate, they are aiming their ire at a new target:

The media.

Trump must be stopped, they declare, and it’s the media’s mission to halt him in his tracks.

It’s an argument that fundamentally misreads the role of the press. And it is being made by some generally smart people who are so apoplectic over the prospect of a Trump nomination or Trump presidency that they don’t understand why journalists

Seriously?   The media is wall-to-wall 24/7 Trump, because he's good for their ratings and then they complain they can't stop him?  Can't stop themselves is more like it.

Why would the media want to kill the Goose laying the Golden Eggs? They live from advertising sales,and every time a brain fart erupts from Trumps weasel mouth,advertising revenues go up.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
