    Assistant Manhattan District Attorney Joshua Steinglass argued that the value of a “corrupt bargain” between the publisher of The National Enquirer, Trump and his then-personal lawyer Michael Cohen to suppress negative stories about Trump cannot be overstated, and might have been one of the most valuable political contributions ever.

    Well, yeah. That and the outrageous failure of the corporate news media to explain the many, many ways trump is unqualified to be president. Nit to mention a demented sociopathic rapist.

      The news media doesn’t care about a stable, healthy country. Nobody checks the weather if they know it’s always going to be perfect.

        And yet that is the very reason they are allowed a free press.
