I've been thinking about the list of plain, uncontestable affronts to the Constitution initiated by the current administration. Vintage media, for the most part, has ignored -- or worse, applauded -- these steps.

In truth, legacy media is cheerleading for lawlessness. Because if any Republican president had attempted even one of these crimes (and they are indeed crimes), we'd have read endless page one, above-the-fold coverage in The New York Times. We'd have seen months of breathless, opening-the-broadcast special reports -- with custom "Presidential Crisis" artwork and logos -- from the likes of Brian Williams and Diane Sawyer.

Which is why I would encourage you to never read or watch vintage media. It's time to put a stop to their idiocy.
