quote [ Reporters need new tools to hold Trump accountable
Trump's press secretary said today Trump doesn't have to "conform to precedents." NYU journalism prof. Jay Rosen says Trump "cannot be held accountable by normal means" and explains how journalists must handle him. ] Donald Trump is mentally ill Each day that is becoming more and more obvious and the press is dumbfounded and does not know how to deal with it.
We can no longer pretend that what we are seeing is just a new and different sort of American president. His Narcissistic personality disorder has been widely discussed but as time goes on becomes more and more apparent.
His New years eve tweet was illuminating "Happy New Year to all,” Mr. Trump wrote, “including to my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don’t know what to do. Love!” The man is the president elect...still feeling inadequate and vindictive. Even a holiday known for its good cheer, it seems, could not dull Mr. Trump’s penchant for doling out taunts and insults via Twitter The entire Russian denial thing is all about how it reflects baldy on him. It has gotten to the point he is becoming delusional and grandiose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnP2Hjvawmw When Tuesday or Wednesday pass and we hear anything what will the press do? If past is prologue...maybe a slight mention. I don't know I guess I have to give the press some credit they now at least seem to be trying but either out of fear or ignorance seem ill equipped to deal with what is right in front of them. Somebody has to say the man is naked! When is somebody going to ask the tough questions? "‘This is not normal’: Kurt Eichenwald blasts reporters for being afraid of questioning Trump" https://youtu.be/GU_WOmQtWSU?t=44s

Look, I know 'politics' has come to mean something negative in the US.
Not to me it doesn't...politics if done correctly is what give the people power. everything has some politic la component to it if more than two people are involved...doesn't make everything we go politics.
This entire post is about can the news media accurately inform the populace. It is a valid and necessary part of our way of governing but it is not politics in fact if done correct it is apolitical.and bipartisan.

The SCOTUS has some politics involved in it but it is not a political body. I am no naive enough to relive that there is politics in the Press or in The SCOTUS but that is not what they do.
