      Arguably it's not fair to expect journalists to understand all the topics they write about. They'd have to be polymaths to do that. But cases like this should remind us that they don't.

          But Trump's job is to listen to to people who does see things coming - that's what a good president does. Not send everyone with bad news away.

          Exactly this. Journalists aren't leading the country (possibly an arguable point from certain perspectives), but for the most part, they are not the leader of the free world, and most have turned around whereas Trump is still making massive missteps

          Paul pls dont erode the institution that is the media even more. I losing trust in every institution in the country and world. My only hope is that donald trump is the vortex of malicious evil and stupid idiocy, and when hes gone we can all feel save again. Leave me that.

          Additionally, all they need is to package any school of thought in a way that doesn't seem deliberate mockery, and as long as that's taken care of, anything can be passed as journalism.

          Of course it's fair to expect them to understand what they are writing about Especially since so many of them are ready to judge all others for their dissenting views It would be a minimum requirement at any time and especially now when they are so eager to call others racist

          I generally agree with the sentiment you and others are expressing that generally the media downplayed things but I also think there has to be some balance in the criticism. Without reporters we wouldn’t even have dependable details that something was going on in China in Dec.

          People believed the sun orbited the earth. That doesn't justify holding that position now. Trump was in full denial mode well after it was clear to everyone that represented a threat to the country.
