Predicting “an election mess in the making, with three months before ballots will be counted” was how CNN media activist and resident soothsayer Brian Stelter was reading in the tea leaves at the top of Sunday’s show. And according to this wildly anti-Trump activist, President Trump was at the wheel of an out of control car with all of us trapped in there with him, except the vehicle wasn’t…

MSNBC's Brian Williams was joined by author and professor Timothy Snyder on Friday night where Williams used his guest's 2017 book On Tyranny to argue that the United States under President Trump is slipping into authoritarianism. The proof? Trump-named towers, military parades and federal law enforcement in Portland.

Media praise of former President Obama's eulogy at John Lewis' funeral continued on Friday's CNN Newsroom as senior political analyst David Gergen contrasted the upcoming election as between Obama's purported pro-American elegance with Trump's alleged "dystopian" view of the world. 

The Washington Post had, understandably and correctly, considerable coverage of the death and funeral ceremonies for civil rights hero and Congressman John Lewis. Well, make that “considerable coverage” into “sort of considerable coverage.” Take a look at this excerpt from The Post’s July 17th story reporting Lewis’s death
