America can’t trust its federal government anymore
These are the best of times and the worst of times for opinion writers. On one hand, President Trump and his people flood the zone with mischief, disinformation and scandals. We are blessed (or cursed) with a topic-rich environment.
On the other hand, we are professionally obligated to remain immersed in Trump’s tireless conspiracy against truth, justice and the American way. It can be dispiriting, even soul-crushing, for commentators. It’s undoubtedly tedious for readers, and it can be damaging to the news media’s reputation.
