“Today, there are two truths in play: Trump fits the textbook definition of a psychopath, and newsrooms don’t want to touch that story.”
“Why has Trump's emotional instability become the third rail of American journalism, a topic so dangerous that it cannot be touched as a news story?”
“Journalists should be more curious. Don't they want to understand if there's something mentally or emotionally wrong with the President of the United States, and delve into what that means for the country?”

back in March I went on @amjoyshow and said Fox was going to get thousands killed, and right-wing media freaked out
“For nearly two decades, Fox News has been depicted by mainstream media as strictly a partisan vehicle. Refusing to address the long lasting damage that right-wing propaganda does to our democracy, Fox News has been presented as mostly a problem for Democrats.”
“Trump has torn up so many norms and traditions with his radical behavior. So let’s add another one to the list — cancel the next two debate. Nobody will miss them.”
let's be perfectly clear, if @debates commission doesn't allow moderators to cut Trump's mic in future forums, we'll know the whole thing is a charade and has nothing to do w/ informing voters.
yet another Beltway Establishment Fail during Trump era
