7. Why should press be complicit with Rump's distraction

from what he and the Republican caucuses in congress are up to?

Did you know that the Koch caucus in the house (aka "Freedom caucus," aka tea party extremists/"conservative hard liners"/religious right nuts/new-generation John Birchers) has aligned with Rump's Rasputin, Bannon, on destroying the ACA?

Rump had promised voters the ACA with a new name and even better--more for less. Rump ALWAYS distracts when he knows he's up to no good. So this one backfired a bit on him, plus caused Ryan's "Republican study group/hard-core economic conservatives" faction trouble. In the end that means his distraction multi-functioned.
