And this is the type of media response that was 100% missing in action during 2016.

Well, I’d say 90-95% MIA. There were folks like David Farenthold, Daniel Dale, Kurt Eichenwald, and others.

I think what we’re seeing now is that the media are no longer afraid of him. Whether that’s the higher ups at Corporate seeing more money to be made NOT sucking up, or the journalists themselves sensing the blood in the water, I don’t know. Maybe both.

It’s also worth noting that nobody in America could have missed things like the Access Hollywood tape, or Judge Curiel Week, or attacking the Khans. What I’ve seen journalists say is, “We covered it. People didn’t pay attention.”
