been moving at the speed of light. If that were true, he would have been denounced long ago. Even his MAGATs would be questioning his legitimacy.

I think they have plodded along, using false equivalency to keep him in office and keep their ratings high.

Even on MSNBC, the channel I mostly watch, even they have their share of "both-siders."

They love covering the horse race, but they ignore most of the issues. Only recently have they begun calling Chump an outright liar - and that is an encouraging sign. I even saw Brian Williams call Chump a liar, just last week. The tide is turning, but not at the speed of light.

Let's not forget that the American media is one of the main reasons we have this awful pResident now - they didn't do their job in 2015/16. They gave Chump a huge pass during the campaign, and that's how he got elected.
