    The fact that the MSM downplays and understates the irrationality, incoherence and self-aggrazandizing nature of the Trumpenator's policies and actions is a major reason why public revulsion of his administration is so tepid, and why there is so little pushback from the rest of the elected "leaders" in CONgress.  Even from MSM organizations you would expect to be against him politically like the NYT or WaPo, the articles lend a veneer of respectability to obviously racist or economically stupid policies.  One expects the cheerleading from Faux Newz, but it's the lack of any real challenge by people who should be opposed to and vehemently upset by his blatant disregard for the law and self-dealing that really enables it.

    WHY do they not report the truth and whitewash and normalize his actions?  Fear of retaliation is part of it, but if they simply quoted his incoherent speeches in full instead of cleanibg up the grammar, his stupidity would be a good deal more obvious, and difficult for him to paint as lies.

    IMHO, there is a more insidious problem at work here, which is that if El Trumpo's behavior and irrationality were fully reported, it would make clear how truly broken our system of goobermint is.  Even those who oppose Trump don't want to admit that, they don't view the system as broken,they are just opposed to him politically.  The fact is also, many of those who oppose His Trumpness are equally incoherent and benefit from the same shallow journalism.  Basically, we have idiots on both sides of the political aisle and if newz organizations would make this clear people might begin to grasp why da goobermint is so dysfunctional.

    Unfortunately, I don't see any of these suggestions being followed by any MSM organization any time too soonk, because it wouldn't be prrofitable and it would undermine the status quo.  Newz organizations aren't about reporting the truth in the FSoA, they are designed to make a profit for the shareholders.  Glossing over the truth takes a back seat to profits.  That's Capitalism.
