rather than the moral and extra-legal aspects of the tariffs. They especially seem to fixate on the stock market compared to their meager attention to how the economy is affecting working people. The only recent exception to this was in the months before the 2024 election where they reported continuously on the price of eggs and other groceries, many months after the rate of inflation had approached more "normal" levels.

I think the corp. news media has accepted that Trump will seize and use whatever power he can, regardless of the legality. Some of these same media people pooh-poohed the notion that Trump was a grave danger to our republic. Now they are finding out and they hardly seem to care.
