And the MSM keeps on enabling that view, rather than peeling it away.
MSM could provide context rather than ignoring it. Instead they announce repeat the Trumpian talking points as if they were fact rather than the fictions they are. Trump uses this situation to push ever more dangerous and distorted versions of what can only be called propaganda.
The news agencies have an obligation to present ALL the FACTS and to fairly represent the context which illuminates their meaning, not just to parrot the press releases intended to obscure and erase them. That is the public trust underlying the 4th Estate.
At this point most of the press seem content to dramatize the crisis by presenting an endless series of "look at the squirrel" events and heart tugging moments of personal loss or sacrifice. They have not done the followup nor the kinds of in-depth analysis which gives dimension and connects those moments by showing how they are related to decisions made and not made. As it stands they are presenting each witness as on a soap-box creating a false illusion of equivalency.
