The truth few dare to speak is that politicians and the media have become so mutually reliant.
Politicians rely on the media to grease the skids of the primary campaign-convention-general campaign cycle (as well as performing side jobs like aiding and abetting anxious Republicans who want Trump gone by repeatedly predicting without a shred of evidence that he soon will be) and the media relies on politicians to justify their existence, indirectly remunerate them for their coverage and reward them with celebrity and stature.
The consequence is that the relationship between pols and media is so incestuous that they have become intolerant of the people who sustain the complex. That’s us. It’s all about them, and pious political pandering and lofty journalistic ideals to the contrary, it hasn’t been about us for a long time.
