Hold them accountable

I've read a number of comments criticizing the "left-leaning" press. One letter to the editor accused the press of relentlessly pursuing the destruction of the American presidency.

The task of a free press is to hold politicians accountable for their words and actions. Yes, President Donald Trump has been severely criticized. But I'm old enough to recall that the press has been pretty evenhanded in its editorializing about past administrations, both Republican and Democratic.

So what is different today? I submit that the issue is that we have never in our previous history had a president who is a psychopathic liar.
