Thoughtful and accurate, Rob. Very well done. The adversarial relationship between the press and government is, as you pointed out, nothing new. Trump is an effective bully, but he'll be gone soon enough. The fight that will inaugurate his replacement can tear the country apart unless we have sober-minded patriots in both the government and the press. We need to find a way to get people to bury their ignorance, open their minds, and learn from each other. What is left of the free press is surely our best hope for that to occur.
I believe 'the press' has it coming. A lot of men, if they had been subjected to what Trump has, for the last 12 years, would have called that 'reporter' far worse and insulting names. We don't have a 'fair and balanced' media. The press's job is to go after republican or conservative politicians, even entertainers. It's obvious to anyone paying attention. According to 'the press,' Reagan was a jovial idiot, according to the press, Bush was Hitler, then Trump was Hitler, then Biden was just wonderful, ole Joe, taking the amtrak train. Then, again, Trump was Hitler.
Fuck the press. They've destroyed their credibility.

Keep speaking truth Rob. I will continue to seek it.
