Thank you for bringing up the media. I mistakenly forgot that bullying **is** tolerated (I guess because it's "drama" and news people love "drama") by journalists. But what was on my mind when I wrote my comment is that regular people don't tolerate it these days... unless, as I said, they are in the Trump cult or want him to win for other reasons. The anti-bullying efforts by celebrities some to mind... along with anti-child trafficking. I believe that even if news organizations like The NY Times continue to make excuses for Trump that the voters will reject him in a big way in November... and then journalists will have to get used to covering a President who comes from joy instead of hate. I hope they don't have a meltdown when confronted by positive rather than negative emotions. I hope they don't try to tear Kamala Harris down because they themselves are unhappy people. (Sorry. I don't have a positive opinion about journalists in general these days... although there are wonderful exceptions.)
I expect have already encountered Les Moonves 2016 remarks about Trump:
“It May Not Be Good for America, but It’s Damn Good for CBS”
“I’ve never seen anything like this, and this going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It’s a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going,”
We ALL bear a share of responsibility for the quality of our society, if government of the people, by the people, for the people is to be more than a slogan. If not us, then who?
