When future historians write about the destruction of the United States as a major democracy, the press will rightfully be portrayed as a major factor as to why it happened. If the election gets postponed and a year from now Trump is the guest who won't leave, these so called journalists will still be showing up at bogus press conferences like the lapdogs they appear to be. Of all the horrible things that Trump has done perhaps the worst of all has been enabling him to do so by a broken Fourth Estate.

"It's worse when they get used willingly." ~ I'd change to "It's worse when the press is complicit." We can no longer pretend that the press is somehow being naively pushed around after 3+ years; they are complicit and cooperating. We must hold the press more accountable and I agree with Theodora30 that Jonathan Karl needs to be replaced with any of the numerous female journos who are much less susceptible to bullying.
