This is the toxic fallacy of neutrality and comity in Midwestern political journalism. Public broadcasting just validates terrible people in soothing tones.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Donald Trump is a fucking psychopath - and his administration is filled with psychopaths. They treat people as means, not as ends and they revel in cruelty. We must, as a nation, find a way to withdraw our consent to be governed by them. Now, not in 3.5 years.

American news organizations aren't allowed to defend American democracy or the Constitution because that would be biased reporting against the forces who wish to destroy those things. "It's corrupt as hell and explicitly unconstitutional" would be taking a side against those treasonous forces.
