The emergence of ratings-driven tv news (1980s???) has been so destructive my god, is anyone really surprised about the Zucker-Cohen-Trump revelations? Surprised that it has come out undeniably, yes, but surprised? This stuff really puts the conspiracy back in conspiracy theory.

Mr. Boehlert,

Not really on topic but Trump is back to his old game of demanding more time in office. Last night’s prediction of landslide victory is only to be expected. His statement that he’d then “negotiate” a third term is neither Constitutional nor expected from anyone not named Trump.

Can there be a stronger signal of how Trump views the Constitution and “rule of law”?
