12. They haven't had a presidency this bad before and don't know quite how to cover it.

So they fall back on the same old same old coverage. And I don't think they give people enough information to really know what's happening.

I'm talking about the major networks. PBS will report more extensively but maintains a quiet tone. So you at least get the information.

I'm disappointed in NPR, which seems to want to gloss over everything.

I don't have cable but listen to Rachael's podcast and get more info that way.
