23. Tragically, sane-washing will continue to be more common than good journalism.

They have always published decent articles here and there. But the sane-washing is far more commonplace, and I expect will remain so. Too many just can't figure out how to reconcile the fact a psychopathic malignant narcissist rapidly losing his cognitive faculties occupies the WH house, so they report on him as if that wasn't the case. (He can't possibly be the lunatic he appears to be. There must be some "strategy" or rational thinking behind the corruption, criminality, and naked insanity).
