The Government The Press Deserves

There's a lot of talk about what to do about President Trump, which makes it increasingly difficult to deny the results of the 2016 election, though I continue to try.


As I've been saying for nearly a year now, Media: Stop broadcasting lies, no matter where they come from. If they hadn't been emanating from a wealthy television personality, Trump and his made-up reality wouldn't have gotten any air time in the first place. He'd have been ignored as a lying crackpot and faded away. But that's not what happened, is it?

Now, a shout-out to Keith Olbermann. It doesn't happen often but he and I are mostly on the same page about moving forward...

Now let's put our heads together and focus our attention on productive actions, and not waste it on outrage.
