You're so right, Eric. I mostly think the Washington Post does great work but this puff piece was a mistake. I've given up on the NYT but I'm going to keep trying to enlighten the Post through my comments on articles like this puff piece :)

I am glad I missed that article. The Style section should be banned from writing about important figures except for articles about their fashion choices. The Church of the Savvy lives on.

I am frustrated by the media’s sins of omission. Why isn’t there more outrage over the emoluments case against Trump being dismissed by the Supreme Court? The case was dragged out for 3 years in lower courts then dismissed, apparently because Trump is no longer in office. This was done by a court dominated by people who claim to be constitutional originalists. The SC has made it clear that the emoluments clause can’t be enforced. That the media can’t be bothered having a serious discussion about what amounts to them rewriting the constitution is disgraceful.
