  42. @stonekettle. I am really struggling to understand this. Does the #media think it will be spared by its gross malfeasance and sycophancy? If nothing else, #CNN, the #NYT, #WaPo et al. should understand the principle of "self-interest rightly understood." If they can't bring themselves to protect the public (devastating and malicious as that is), surely they should think about protecting themselves!
