Your life’s work is not under assault [as you say on Facebook] because [of] a quick - and mostly correct - reaction to the covington catholic issue ( I tend to think that the initial reaction was correct, the PR company hired by Sandmann is doing its job). Your life’s work is under attack by a huge percentage of. the population being told by the - mostly-fundamentalist right that facts don’t matter - all that matters is how they feel.

I think Caitlin was wrong to say that the NY Times helped Trump get elected by playing to a percentage that believes the media is against them. The Media helped Trump get elected by giving him Oxygen - they breathlessly covered every tweet, every invented drama, every KFC meal. In having too much integrity they rarely called him out for what he was in no uncertain terms - liar, predator, traitor. Instead they acted like he was reasonable and treated his outrages as if they were worthy of discussion and thoughtful consideration. They helped Trump get elected by treating him as if he were viable.
