What is wrong with the media?

I recently read an article in the LA Times by Matt Welch (link below) which basically opines that the media is at war with its critics over Donald Trump, and thus has lost whatever credibility it my have had.  Jake Tapper is quoted in the article as saying "We are not the resistance.  We are not the opposition. We are here to tell the truth, report the facts..."  The media does not do this very well lately because they are in love with their own opinions and their main opinion is that Donald Trump is not their kind of President.  Look if you want to make Trump look bad it is not that hard he really does it all by himself, so just report don't opine.

Who are we?

Obama has used the phrase "this is not who we are" referring to the American people and condemning Trump and his supporters, below is a tweet (I DESPISE THAT TERM)  from a leading liberal commenting on the tragic wild fires in California and their impact on a prominent conservative, is this an indication of who we have become.

WOW a new reason why Clinton lost-the word Delusional Comes to mind

Jill Filipovic writes in the New York Times that Matt Lauer, Charlie Rose and Mark Halperin, all fired by their employers for sexual harassment, in effect sexually harassed Ms.Clinton in their interviews of her while tossing softballs at Mr.Trump when they interviewed him, thereby costing her the election.  I just have to say - are you shitting me?

Tax Reform - This is interesting if true

I think I agree that the current method of income tax filing is bogus, i.e. deduct as much as you can to reduce your income so you don't owe as much to the government.  Certainly tax attorneys and CPAs benefit greatly by advising people, and corporations, how to take as many deductions as possible, this certainly does not benefit people who can/t afford their fees.
