The mainstream press is hiding behind journalistic “objectivity” when it comes to how they report on Donald Trump. They should be describing him as the criminal thug that he is. The truth is the media is still in love with the profits Trump brings them. And that’s been the case for decades. They love ratings more than they care about democracy.

According to a former White House correspondent who spent the Donald Trump years trying to get straight answers out of the ex-president’s press secretaries, the media has been covering the ex-president wrong.

In a column for Salon, journalist Brian Karem argues that members of the press have been “moral cowards” by not properly covering Trump, who Karem says is “a fraud, a cheat and a rapist, facing 91 felony counts.”

…”But don’t count on the press to inform you about any of that. We’re too busy pretending, and entertaining you by treating Trump as if he were a charmer, or a savior.” It’s not just the media, according to the reporter.

“It isn’t just the press that is filled with cowards. The Republicans in Congress are repugnant criminal cowards. The Democrats are eunuchs and moral cowards.

Some in the media/press are denouncing ‘normalization’ of Trump in his coverage:

The press should be on the side of democracy, the Constitution, and freedom.
