"As I write this, neither of them had condemned his actions."

Is Ms. Renzetti suggesting that Presidents and Vice-Presidents should be commenting on matters before the courts? ... so that the press can can cook up a case for obstruction of justice charges?

I can accept movies about people who make movies.  It's just entertainment, and we don't charge entertainers with any greater responsibility than to entertain us. 

But when the press continually obsesses about the press, we should be wary that the narcissism they see in the Oval Office may be contagious, and that they may have lost all sense of the perspective that might allow them to add value to their narratives that can be perceived by readers outside of card carrying members of the guild. 

In this, Ms. Renzetti, in particular, seems to have lost her way.
