I’m more familiar with the televised reporting of the above-named newspapers, but I follow the news daily, and there’s already a significant amount of information known, and much more to discover regarding the Russia/Trump connection. Democracy depends on a free, strong, independent press, which plays a critical role in keeping government accountable to the American public. It is all the more important when we have a lawless, untruthful, corrupt administration in charge of our policies, our laws, and especially our safety. In an extremely polarized, politically-charged atmosphere, where media is denigrated and attacked from the president on down, we see incidents such as occurred 5/24 in Montana, where a Republican candidate for U.S. Representative feels he can physically assault a journalist for asking him a question. How responsive and available do you suppose such a representative would be to his constituents with questions? Good journalists are the bedrock of our society, and we should value them greatly!

What do I think about the New York Times and the Washington Post print media’s reporting on the Russia/Trump connection?
