sadly I agree with Rather.
The GOP has spent the last couple of decades undercutting news organizations, by continually putting forward false information, ignoring issues that damage their ideology and finally questioning legitimacy itself.
Trump has amped this up even further through doublespeak, subterfuge and a gradual erosion of access and protocol.
It is a dangerous time, because, imo, the GOP are slowly poisoning the political ecosphere so that legitimate debate is no longer possible and that senators and members of congress of good conscious (but lacking intestinal fortitude) will not jeopardize their political futures by questioning the party line...
the GOP will prop up Trump in the hopes of passing their agenda.
Tribalism at its worst. Party over Country.
