    “We have to be truthful, not neutral,” she urged. “I would make sure that you don’t just give a platform … to those who want to crash down the constitution and democracy.”

    The importance of this cannot be overstated. Here’s hoping the press rises to the challenge of responsible journalism.

    I don’t understand why every news source has to give dump so much more time than anyone else. Who cares what he said this time. It’s the same thing every time. I guess it gets them more views (by what metric? Nielson?). CNN even said after dump’s first win that maybe they shouldn’t have given him about triple the coverage of every other candidate from both sides combined. In the interim years, CNN has still had more dump than even the current president.

    This is why I do not watch news anymore. But, it matters little. Humanity, please continue our speed run to extinction.
