The Near Future Will Be a Test of Media Integrity

Will they call out the lies and falsehoods being disseminated by the Trump Administration? Or will they ignore or rationalize them in some way? That's what they're up against right now.

Will the media rise to this challenge and publish the truth or will they continue to be apologists for Donald Trump and his Merry Band of Fascists?

We should be watching and commenting on what the media does. It's decision time for them all.

"Are you telling us facts, or 'alternative facts'?" Every time. Same thing to Dump; he's responsible for his mouthpieces.

constantly so that when things go sideways (every day in minor ways, likely to be frequent in major ways) they have to own their cowardice and complicity.

So in that sense, it's a test for dems too.
