A “Free D.C.” movement has taken root—and taken to the streets—to resist the president. Yet the response from political and media elites has been rather limp. Imagine if the president’s radical claims about reducing crime were actually scrutinized by the media? trib.al/PpDTH1g

If you criticize our dictator you will risk revenge. So, they let him run them over.

There is something very wrong when a country's media does not call out the failings of its government. It suggests the media is either as morally corrupt as the administration or is in its grasp. America clearly no longer has journalists in media elites who are able to expose government wrongdoing.

The media lives in fear of being a target of Drumpf’s extortion moves that led to major news media paying exorbitant amounts & covers minimal info. His playbook is to be the ultimate fear-monger if he feels exposed.. FEAR is everywhere & the public is being kept unaware of all that is happening
