No, Carl, it's not the presidency that is "malignant."  It's the MSM.  They have become creators of false stories, promoters of conspiracies, believers in falsehoods, and sleight-of-hand artists when it comes to the news.  Not happy to simply report events as they happen any longer, they must "frame the narrative" and put everything into a context that promotes their liberal worldview.  The GOP doesn't simply oppose or favor a certain bill. No, they want to see that "people die."  They don't just report that so-and-so met with someone as part of their job.  No, they are doing something a "despot" of the past once did;  ergo they are despots, too.

This is what passes for "news" now.  No wonder Trump is so accusatory.  They're guilty.
