Lesley, my fundamental point is that you can’t possibly understand what’s happening in American politics if you trust and rely upon the legacy media. I offered a few examples of media outlets, print or otherwise, that are ideologically driven, indifferent to traditional journalistic respect for truth but rather have become shameless propaganda machines every bit as unscrupulous and misleading as the old Soviet media like Pravda we used to feel so superior to. 


The NPR editor who dared to publicly express his concern for how badly NPR has lost its journalistic integrity and calcified instead into a relentlessly progressive echo chamber is a perfect example. NPR doesn’t do truth. It does leftist right-thinking instead. 


So how can we know anything if our media is so generally misleading? It’s doable if not easy. Good old fashioned critical thinking about which no one seems to talk anymore is key. 


As for Trump, this essay by Bruce Bawer says it best:
