Which of the corporate media? I know the NYT and WP are not. We need to put pressure on whomever you are referring to.

I'm gobsmacked that anyone could even think it's a viable option. Are they not looking at the cabinet choices he's been floating out? Did they not research Bannon? Did they forget every last thing he said during his campaign?!

with the trumpfuhrer. First for profit, now it's CYA. No surprise here. WTF is going on? Decline of the first magnitude, first 1.1, then a 4.4, the a 7.6 then Kiss it goodbye, especially if one of the 'others'.

The broadcast media have talked themselves into believing that they have to give equal time to both sides (not that they actually do) because their views are equally valid. It's like giving a 4-year-old who wants cookies and soda for dinner the same weight as a mother who wants vegetables, some protein, and milk. Or Flat-Earthers the same coverage as NASA probes.
