Of note for the media, this . . . . . .

. . . . . . president and his party represent an existential threat to you.

Look at any other national leader in any country led by a strongman and you will see state controlled media.

Jamal Khashoggi was butchered because he was a journalist speaking out against a strongman. Russia routinely kills media types. So does Turkey.

If anyone thinks Trump wouldn't do the same given the chance, disabuse yourself of that notion right now.

And what happened to the hundreds of protestors who were rounded up?

Maybe I missed what happened?

We knew what it was going to be like from day 1.
