With the chances of impeachment.

A sitting President can and must be tried for crimes regardless of how many brainwashed supporters he has.

Yes, malaise, totally with you. Media needs to focus on the big picture and the truth, not just the lie of the day from the right.

And I think t helps to distinguish three kinds of news media:
1. Real truth-seeking journalism. (Run by journalists, not businesspeople. Like TPM, MoJo, Propublica, etc)
2. Profit-first infotainment (CNN, MSNBC)
3. Right wing propaganda (Fox, Limbaugh, Hewitt, all of rightwing radio, WSJ, Daily Caller, Federalist, OANN, NRATV, Sinclair, Bret Stephens, Ross Douthat, Peggy Noonan, Strassel, Newsmax, Gateway Pundit, Drudge, Reason, etc etc etc)
