    FOR TRUMP TO escape much scrutiny from the press for the third time can be attributed in part to the deep historical, technological, and financial trends that have swept through the news industry.

    Journalists are doing the same thing by failing to mention capitalisms role in the rise of Trump.

      The problem is that journalists would engage in friendly fire against Democrats if they started addressing the root cause.

      Mention Miriam Adelson and someone says AIPAC.

      Mention Jeffrey Epstein and someone says Bill Clinton
