15. Enjoyed reading. The problem I see is that people expect journalists to say "trump is a POS,"

rather than just reporting on the chit he does that makes him a POS.

Readers aren’t that stupid, they don’t need to be told the obvious, some voters just don’t care or admire trump’s crud.

The media— except for likes of FOX — are doing their job. It’s society, education, religion, families, etc., not doing their job. Maybe even politicians aren’t doing it either.

We are going to miss newspapers. I grew up getting 2 newspapers a day, morning and evening.

Anyway, thanks for comments
