This, Too, Shall Pass, or, Why I Prefer Trump to Harris

A Time for Choosing 

My best and only answer to why I’d prefer Trump to Harris is that, at least if Trump is elected, the press would “do its job.” With Harris (or any Democrat, for that matter), the press is actually doing everything but its job. It’s become advocates for the party, both in terms of how they cover the candidates and what they choose not to cover. 

When a society loses the press to party loyalty, we’re in trouble. Frankly, that’s what I fear more than a Donald Trump administration. 

Trump will be gone in a while. We can recover from him. I don’t think we can recover from the corruption of the Fourth Estate.
