Liberal "journalists" think it is all about them "speaking truth to power." They really believe they're the only people standing between dictators (Trump) and the people. They think they're always on the verge of being thrown into prison for their "brave" actions.
They've all seen the Dan Rather clip talking trash to Nixon, and they all crave the opportunity themselves to do the same to an evil person i.e. a Republican president. They're all absolutely shameless.
