  67. The American press was partisan and very vicious in the 19th century. Somewhere in the 20th century the idea of "objective journalism" took hold. It is what I grew up with as a child. Newspapers were expected to check and validate their facts - a much different policy than what was done in the early times of our country. Now, we seem to have gone back to that era. FOX News does not even attempt to practice "objective journalism". FOX and other right wing Republican media regularly invent "facts" and distort the truth. We are moving back to an era when all news outlets were identified by their party affiliation. The Chicago Tribune being Republican, and the Chicago Sun-TImes being Democrat. Now the media will not only back the partisan hack of their party, but will ignore crimes committed, and evil acts done by their chosen candidates. Look at how the media have ignored Trump's abuse of power, and his theft from sub-contractors that worked on his real estate developments. We have entered a dark time when statesmen will not be seen. Politicians now lack loyalty to our country, and are willing and eager to make deals with foreign enemies to get assistance in maintaining their position and power. Poland was once led by nobility that sold out their country for money and promises. This led Poland to being partitioned and taken over by its neighbors and disappearing from the map of Europe, until after WW1. As Trump has sold out to Putin, will future "leaders" also sell out to powers to get electoral assistance???? How long can the US survive with such "leaders"??? I am not optimistic.
