Trump supporters are trusting a lying politician to rescue them from---lying politicians?  That's about as funny as a billionaire campaigning on claiming he's one of them---and being believed!

On the other hand, the press can't very well be the lap-dogs of power politics, as they have been since the Reagan years, then come running to the public, whining that they're going to do their jobs right for once when that backfires on them, as it has with Trump.

I'll remind you all of the press coverage leading up to the last few wars, especially Iraq:  WaPo and the NY Times were beating the drums of war along with the rest of them, because there was money to be made:  "News" on that level has been what the supposed authorities said it was, and "access" was about like our legislators going to an ALEC conference---The story was always there waiting for them.  The Seymour Hershs and the Greg Palasts of the world could do all the research they wanted---And get shut right out for it.
