...what do folks here think of the narrative most of the major media sources pushed that, 'Cook was fired' or 'Trump fired Cook' without headlining the clear illegality of the WH action? That's what most Americans are waking up to.

In my opinion, that reporting is a major part of what Trump counted on when he made his tweet, and is just enabling rather than supporting and reporting facts instead of just his declarations. I made sure a few of these reporters are aware that we're watching them do this.
