I don't usually agree a lot with S.E. Cupp, but she's 100% right on this.

The press is not the enemy of the people. The press is the enemy of the powerful, unaccountable and corrupt. The unjust, unethical, and dishonest. The bully, the blowhard. The cover up, run around and false pretense. Let’s be clear: that’s made the press the enemy of one person.

6. "Comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable."

“The job of the newspaper is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable”

"The duty/job of the newspaper is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable” is credited to the “Mr. Dooley character of Finley Peter Dunne (1867-1936), who wrote in 1902:

“Th’ newspaper does ivrything f’r us. It runs th’ polis foorce an’ th’ banks, commands th’ milishy, controls th’ ligislachure, baptizes th’ young, marries th’ foolish, comforts th’ afflicted, afflicts th’ comfortable, buries th’ dead an’ roasts thim aftherward.”

The quotation achieved its popular form by at least 1936, when Sir Wilmott Lewis, Washington correspondent of the London Times, addressed an annual luncheon of The Associated Press at the Hotel Waldorf Astoria. “We have been told,” Sir Wilmott said, “that the duty of the newspaper is to comfort the afflicted, and to afflict the comfortable.” Wilmott then credited Finley Peter Dunne.

11. Thank God serious journalist F. U. Dupp is on the case.

13. I've watched S. E. Cupp's show on Headline News for a couple of months.

I suggest you watch it as well. I think you would be completely surprised, pleased, and would watch more often.

S. E. Cupp has been scathing to Donald and the Republican party. Hey I remember her Fox News days too.

But I think you need to know her show is a damn good news and political talk show. And she's undergone a David Frum, Ana Navarro, Steve Schmidt like reaction to Trump and the GOP.
