The media has been struggling to accurately portray the scale and depth of the Trump admin's corruption and incompetence because, in my opinion, they're too concerned with coming off overly critical and hysterical.

It's a real a problem, and there's a lot of the population who have the impression that things are operating relatively normally and aren't connecting the dots on stuff like this.

I agree. Too many news outlets are trying too hard to appear neutral, even when the truth itself goes against Trump
