The complicity of the news outlets in Trump's take over

All the newspaper editors, TV News executives and editors, have presented Trump as the failure he is, and 2020 brought it all out with his incompetence, fear, and stupidity in handling,or rather not handling the covid-19 epidemic. But that certainly wasn't needed to see the fool in fool's clothing, or the naked King on his high horse.  Before Covid-19 Trump was a pathological liar with other pathological symptoms. All easily seen and easily talked about. And TV and news outlets talked about it. Some good and some bad. It didn't take this total economic and health failure on the part of Trump and the Government as a whole to show an eighth grader his country, and his generation, was in a lot of trouble.  But the news groups and tv stations just started competing on getting better ratings, better inside information on how dumb Trump is, how many women he had affairs with, how much money he laundered, how many of his associates were criminals, how he took a knee - to Putin, how horrible a human and President he was. They watched and reported. They watched it all and competed in how to present it. They are still doing it. Why aren't they, every day, screaming get rid of this ugly despicable, degenerate, lieng dog out of his office, now! Today.  NO. They didn't want or have the understanding or the strength of character to say "get rid of this man" determined to ruin this nation, determined to do Putin's bidding, determined to do away with the State Department, the housing, labor, justice, military departments, the intelligence agencies. This paper, and others, reported the "downfall" of democracy, the rise of a totalitarian personality, and party.  But they didn't say stop it. Mueller said he had a DOJ finding that kept him from indicting, but he kept Trump safe for 2 years and reported Trump was a bum and crook.  That's all. Reported. Trump, and the Republicans laughed. WE all just watched. We didn't rise up in anger, we didn't cry havoc in the streets, everyday.
