It's beyond comprehension that, less than two weeks after a blockbuster Washington Post report -- which strongly suggests Trump took a $10 million bribe from a foreign government during the 2016 election -- other Big Journalism organizations have made clear their indifference, by not following up.

Update

I'm asked: What should they do about it?

Answer: Journalism orgs should collaborate -- investing major resources -- on investigating all of this in depth.

You're one of the journalists. I assume that you mean entrenched dead tree types, but that isn't entirely fair. We'd agree that there is an old school which needs to go. The positive side is that it's going. Donald Trump, climate change, and Israel are nails in the coffin.

I'm probably older than you, though not sure, and no idealist youth. I'm experienced enough with the nonsense that is gaslighting to say that you should keep at it until you drop. You're not solely preaching to the choir and it does make a difference.
