Charles Lipson: "Democracy Dies In Derangement, Too"

This is right.
   Trump is a problem. It's not clear to me that he's a bigger problem than a deranged, highly-partisan media that constantly spins the information it inputs into our public discussions and deliberations--always in the same direction. It doesn't help that it's a bad direction--but just about any direction is bad if you're a %&$#ing lunatic about it.
