A BOOK ABOUT A MONSTER.

 In several past posts, I have been very critical of MSNBC—my go-to news source—accusing them of being significantly responsible for burdening us with Donald Trump. I felt that their constant exposure of Trump's shenanigans, along with their avoidance of Hillary and actual lies abut her popularity were helpful in saddling America with this vicious mental case. Now I am glad to find agreement in Michael Cohen's excellent book Disloyal. I should resent Cohen for his part in this nightmare, but I don't. I admire him for how honest and repentant he is in this book, and how amazingly self-analyzing. But I was most pleased by his agreement with me when he wrote, "The free press gave America Trump. Right, left, moderate, tabloid, broadsheet, television, radio, internet, Facebook—that is who elected Trump and might well elect him again." A distinct possibility since at least MSNBC is making all the same mistakes of praising Trump with faint damn. I suspect that even after tonight's debate, they will spend more time on Trump's words than Biden's. This leaves me very concerned about the election results knowing that Trump keeps getting too muchface time, good or bad. I recommend Disloyal to everyone. Not only a great read, but clear view of how how empty, cold, and dangerous is America's present dictator, Donald Trump.
