(#5946) Our national media are hiding under rocks!

      I will say this much, not all national media are cowering but most are. The things trump and his accomplices are doing in broad daylight is shocking. Yet most national reporters and editors are silent in their reporting. Fear has struck them big time and they cannot seem to put their own principles of right and wrong ahead of their concerns for what they see as their future. Well their future is on their knees if they don't find their spines! Daylight used to be the great disinfectant but not anymore. What the trumps are pulling off is the epitome of a highjack, a brutal and unethical coup of not only our way of government but of our very souls.
     The best backstop that should defend we the people is the press. Telling the truth when it hurts or helps is the honor the pross is the steward of. What we have now is not so much a commission of conspiracy, it is instead a subservient omission. The paramount factor is fear and it is being dealt out by the trumps in all corners of our society thus making us afraid as their weapon of choice. Why does anyone go into reporting on the news? There has to be a yearning inside us that drives our ambitions with force. The news requires us to report on facts and truths. What we are witnessing is silence and acquiescence to fact and truth which must be a sobering betrayal to those who have bent their knee to a force of fear.
     Generally, if it wasn't for the courts in our nation the trumps would be nearly unstoppable in their quest to end democracy and install trump and his minions as unquestionable overlords. The media has stopped being independent and has now become propaganda for trump to create narratives of his own choosing. Case in point. The trumps create a problem that didn't exist and then find a solution for that problem and call themselves geniuses. The media plays along and doesn't report the illogic of it all and instead focus on the victory trump claims. It is devastating that the fourth estate has fallen so far down to their knees, instead of fighting for the truth, in order to join the republican party as the cowardly culprits who would end democracy in America!
