“you people with this phony emoluments clause.”

My beef is with all the news sources that simply offer up a sound bite like that without adding that Trump is a lying sack of shit. The top-of-the-hour radio news summaries are particularly bad. They may not mean to but they are just reinforcing Trump's B.S.

Margaret Sullivan has a piece in WaPo giving recent examples of where the media is finally learning how to report on Trump. Instead of the usual, “this was said/critics are saying” formula they are now including the truth of the context. Her first example came from NYT. Every WaPo news story lately now does it this way: “Trump claimed without evidence ‘X’. Instead of the old way, Trump claimed X. Critics dispute that.”

In the pre-Trump era they didn’t think it was their call to proclaim truth and lies, but to merely report what happened. That’s slowly changing.
