Devils advocate time , but isn ' t it the job of journalists to report on and call out bad behavior ? I mean , if journalists don ' t , who else is ? If Trump really is a bigot and judging by some of the people in his inner circle he is then exactly what is gained by not saying something ? The public should know what ' s really factually happening in an administration they voted for . If Barack Obama sacrifices puppies to Cluthu I want to hear about it , even if it ' s on a circle jerk site from the far right . I ' d only really have a problem with a report that ' s factually untrue . If you ' re lying to make trump look bad , get the fuck out of journalism and go blog . If it ' s actually true , then you have a duty to report it . A free press is useless if you are so afraid of being unfair that you don ' t tell people what ' s really going on .
