So many of us are writing to editorial boards of major newspapers and letters to the news organizations for the “so called even handed” coverage, which is anything but. Many, myself included, can no longer watch the programs we so religiously followed all these years, like Meet the Press or the other Sunday shows because they slough over the unprincipled responses of Republicans to Trump’s outrageous behavior and statements.

The news media is letting us down, and perpetuating the concept that Trump has any sense of normalcy about him. I hope they wake up soon, and help to educate the public about truth and what they are risking by following him.

Thank you for your perspective and willingness to speak out.

The sentiment to stay with me continues to be we saw it, the insurrection. How others can pretend otherwise is so “out there” it gains traction the more distant time moves along. As if we did not see what we saw. Great excerpt for perspective on a phenomenon for which I lack words. I commend The steadiness of PoliticsNC. And continued commitment. These times feel all too unanchored. Easy for me to become boggy. Straightforward writing, strong in truth, is anchoring.
