Six years ago, I wrote about how the media has been falling for Trump's "new tone" nonsense for five years at that point. So we're now... 11 years into the media falling for Trump's "new tone." www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

An unacceptable situation, but it is trending down, thankfully.
This is Minneapolis.
