Can you imagine what would have happened if within 24 hrs of Trump being a convicted criminal, every NYT opinion writer and the Editorial Board called on him to step down. And then the media found 1 or 2 elected Republicans to say he should step down and kept highlighting them, and found some big money donors who were Haley supporters and would publicly say they could no longer support Donald Trump as the first former president to be a convicted criminal in history?

The U.S. media is a joke.

@DebErupts Our media has absolutely failed us. I don't even know who to read anymore to get the news.

BUT...would this actually have made a difference? Isn't that what the National Review tried in 2016? Isn't that what happened with the Access Hollywood tape? Isn't Trump's superpower that he brushes criticisms and reality aside and his fanatical base sticks with him?

@DebErupts @ThisAccountKillsFascists Sadly they all too are "both sideism" (except for Mother Jones).
