Trump has long insisted that while wrestling Hilary to the ground, he had to fight a rear guard action against a mainstream media aligned with the Democrats. The truth, of course, is that it was mainstream media that allowed Trump to lock up the 48% of the vote that put him in the White House. Collectively they couldn't resist the rating boosting baubles constantly dangled by a street smart campaigner who set out to exploit their Achilles Heel. 

The media ignored credible candidates focussed on substantive issues in favour of the insult-by-the-hour, illiterate, incoherent late night twitterer. There is even a notion that - with the realization of the damage it had wrought on America - a remorseful media has resolved to become the real opposition to a fascist entity that seized two branches of government and is about to corner a third. And that, of course, is balderdash. 

Ms. Southey's deft excoriation of the Trump clan is among the rare exceptions that prove that rule. Kudos.
