''....So journalism needs to adjust and adapt to Trump-ism. This isn't about stopping Trump – that's not the job of reporters, though it is a laudable goal – but rather about stopping his insidious approach to truth lest he radicalize other politicians. Unlike what Hunter Thompson said of Nixon, however, the answer isn't subjective journalism but honestly objective journalism – that is to say the media should forthrightly and consistently note that Trump utterly lacks credibility.

No statement of his should be relayed without a due disclaimer; otherwise the media continues to act as a prop in Trump's great con.''


from a pretty spot-on article:

and Mark Hertzgaard's "On Bended Knee" for starters.
