CBS: ‘Forever Prisoners’ at Gitmo Saw Trump Win as ‘End of the World’

Blogger: Media Will Protect Trump Like They Did Reagan and Dubya

When Donald Trump is POTUS, he’s likely to get deferential, even helpful, media coverage, predicted Atrios on Monday. After all, he explained, that’s been the pattern for Republican presidents since the 1980s. When Ronald Reagan was in the White House, Atrios alleged, “members of the press knew that [he] had some form of dementia, that he was not actually fit to run the country, and they covered…
