The conflict with honest journalism is structural, not just a matter of broken practices or bad actors. And I believe the people who report on politics in the United States are going to have to confront that reality, whether Trump wins or loses.
Translation: Majority makes right. This is a mere repackaging of Trump's view that the only law is the law of power.
Because the majority of this country wants X, to be in the minority and want Y means one is a bad actor?
The majority of Ohio will likely vote for Trump this fall. Does that mean that the minority that seeks a different result are bad actors?
