The press continues to show why they have failed as the Fourth Estate. The Founders knew that the checks and balances of the three branches of government might not be enough and that an unofficial branch of the government, the press, would be necessary to help protect the Republic. We've already know that two branches of government, the administration and half of congress, has not done their duty to protect the Constitution. Senate Republics had the chance to remove this president but chose to enable him instead. The media's inability to continually report that the president is a psychopathic liar (fact), corrupt criminal (fact), or even suffering from dementia (perhaps a fact) demonstrates the failure of the press's responsibility. Democracy is hanging by a thread. Will "We the People" come to the rescue in November with voter suppression and other right wing cheating tactics ready to thwart our ability to overthrow this corrupt regime? Let's not count on any help from the media.
