Regardless to what sycophantic levels the media willing and joyfully reduces itself in partisan service to this President it is still not enough and they even abandon their colleagues who dare to commit a small act of journalism which displeases this administration.
Does this encourage a disturbing chilling effect in politics and the media and what ever happened to speaking truth to power?
The President's political opposition and their families by contrast can be trashed with no limits for decency and deliberate maliciousness is encouraged.
The media should take a step back in this election year and see what is becoming of it but of course they will do nothing of the kind.
