Now, things are really getting interesting?

We are now seeing the absolute abuse of power from Trump, his family and cabinet. There is a new "breaking news" story coming from the Russia scandal of collusion almost every 5 minutes. Just wonder if maybe the media show slow down in the "breaking news"? My reasoning for this? Let Mueller do the job he was set in place to do and let them find concrete evidence to move forward and to finally close the book on Trump! The media does a good job to bring out the news, but they might be a conflict in making a case and Trump has been able to use the media as a scapegoat.

The same media that normalized and legitimized him as a credible candidate for President of the US?

Pfft. They can damn well start doing their jobs

Air National guard story which was nearly 100% correct but he was set up with documents that had been manufactured using newer font and was quickly pointed out as such. The story itself was mostly accurate, but if you cast doubt on any segment of it, the whole thing goes down the drain. The same could be happening here......

5. The media should hammer away fast and furious. They are being careful to verify before

sounding the alarm. The Wapo had the Kushner story last December, but needed verification before printing it. When Kushner admitted "forgetting some meetings with Kislyak in December, the dates matched the tip the Wapo had in hand. This plus another verification of what they had is when they went with it.
Nothing like a free press.
