The emergence of Trumpism has split an already fractured landscape into entirely separate dimensions of reality where communication is now non-existent.
"<I>It is a war worth winning though, and responsible media outlets must gear themselves up for another round of grueling conflict.</i>"
Had "responsible" media outlets acted responsibly in the first place, they wouldn't have had such a large battle to fight or another round to be gearing up for.
The relentless focus on email servers and Beghazi investigations and breathlessly hanging on whatever Trump said next was not only a trait of Fox News. CNN and The New York Times and MSNBC were also happy to sacrifice journalism for ratings.
Truth by itself is not enough anymore. This death cult first needs to be deprogrammed by responsible media before they can absorb anything after 5 years of brainwashing.
Ben, this is one of your finest pieces of analysis. Trump, a feckless malignant narcissist of proportions not seen in this nation before, has undermined anything that relies on truth and reality to exist. Let's also give credit to the rise and acceptance of social media, notably Twitter--destructive, ego-driven platforms that support all forms of gaslighting--the art of which Trump has perfected.

Oh, much longer than 5 years.
