I don't know that I could think of a better illustration of a journalist following the authoritarian's playbook than this description of Trump's first 100 days. I'm not just criticizing the journalism, here. I'm saying journalists are playing the role Trump wants them to play.

they’re doing that thing where a new coach discovers his NFL team has a ping-pong table in the locker room and orders it removed to build a winning culture focused on football and all the players resent it and he gets fired after 3 sub-.500 seasons, but for The Army
