Judd Legum documents the remarkable lack of media interest in the President Elect benefiting handsomely from foreign capital. It doesn’t pass the sniff test and is certainly vastly more corrupt that the support Hillary received for her charitable foundation. We all have become inured to scandalous behavior by GOP luminaries; scarcely a week goes by without something new. Indeed, #45 appears to be intentionally provoking outrage — it devours the media cycle and ultimately has no consequences for him. He benefits because items like this don’t make the headlines. He also benefits because the outrage keeps the nation divided. True MAGA believers don’t care. The rest of us are repulsed. It’s a tactic.
One wonders if our mainstream media, fearing loss of GOP advertisers and subscribers, are now pulling their punches.
