Mainstream media accessories to the crimes
It's become increasingly evident over time, and as highlighed by much of your work, Glenn, that many, if not most of the crimes committed by this administration could not have been effected--at least, not so easily--without the criminal collusion of the mainstream media. This is not merely a matter of "lax journalistic ethics" or even simply a misunderstanding by contemporary journalists and their editors as to the purpose and proper practices of a free press. This is willful, knowing participation in the coverup and misrepresentation of crimes by the government against the American people and against people around the world.
This underscores more than any civics class ever could how essential a free, uncompromised press is to a democracy. The slightest of plunderers will not escape justice if the press works to expose their crimes; but the worst will never face justice if the press actively impedes the disclosure and nature of their crimes, which our press works to do every day.
