Catching up on my reading, thank you for this excellent piece.
The thing is... print media has a big responsibility and many have not done right by the American people in their coverage of Trump. Agree with that. But overall, it's the television media that completely let us down.
You mention the main things have happened, and it was maddening to watch. It still happens now. I mean, what's worse planning to get REVENGE on your enemies or being a few years older than your opponent? You'd think the latter from the amount of verbiage.
But also. Trump should never be interviewed live and when broadcast, he should be "stopped" and a correction to each lie of his non-stop spewing of lies should be given, both in a bubble over the screen or some such, and in audio. Actually, this should be the case for most Republicans. They spit out lies at such a high rate -the Gish Gallop- that not even a willing journalist can correct them. Mehdi Hasan can come close to not letting them get away with it, but he's one. So no live interviews. Ever.
