With one final complaint/plea ⤵️

And finally: We’re competitors, but we’re also all in this together. The country’s most visible journalists are White House reporters who are seen daily, posing questions in the briefing room and doing standups on the lawn. Time and again, the president has insulted or degraded a reporter who asks a legitimate question, and time and again, the rest of the press corps has just moseyed along. Time and again, the president has made outrageous, easily checkable claims, and time and again, the press corps has just traipsed on to its next question. There are a lot of reasons why many Americans don’t trust the news media. Their reluctance to stand up for each other, and for the facts, is one. Perhaps it’s because some of them are timid, or because they don’t want to lose their Oval Office access, or because they don’t want to “become the story.” Whichever is the case, journalists build trust by showing that they will stand up for the truth, and for their fellow truth-tellers. It’s never too late to do that.

I'm not paying it, btw. We've already absorbed all the costs we can. My customers will pay for it. And this, my friends, is why everything at the grocery store costs more now. Republican policy.
