I don't know who'll be around to write our history or to read it, but journalism is dead and we need muckrakers in our time.

It was 24/7 Trump from the time he announced. No other GOP candidate could get a word in edgewise.

That is because the head of CNN and Trump are personal friends.

Journalism went out the window as a result.

about the press. CLEARLY the MSM thinks he's crazy. They have not praised Trump unless it was a surrogate. It has been negative story after negative story about Trump..which is what he is one big negative story. I mean he hasn't even been endorsed by any credible newspapers.
