What progressives discover when they go after Trump for this sort of thing is that they have to invoke norms, traditions, & institutions that conservatives have preserved for them. Because within the values of progressivism, Trump's by-any-means-necessary approach is AOK.

So, all times before 2016 and after 2016 and all down ticket races in 2016 were all different times? I don't think so.

The media has gotten worse, but it has always been bad & biased, its power is less than it was, & it is a permanent feature of the landscape.
