Richard North Patterson at Huffington Post flails their elevation of Trump and tenacious attempt to normalize an obviously deeply disturbed personality.
“They have countenanced lie upon lie; recast his disturbed behavior as strategic genius; marveled at the immunity from his own vacuity and vulgarity that they have helped create. Even more than Trump himself, they have thrust ‘Trump’ upon a confused and vulnerable country. By doing so, have disgraced themselves and betrayed their obligations to the rest of us.”
