The more evidence that comes forth from the Jan. 6th hearings and first hand accounts like that in the article...the more they try to hide their true intent...to heck with the Constitution...power at any price.
… or some combination of all the above.
I am willing to give folks a pass if they voted for Trump in 2016.
But for those who voted for Trump in 2020, they are among the worst Americans in the history of our nation.
For those who still support Trump, they are dead to me.
If he were judged on his official policies and actions alone, any fair person would say he benefited the country. But too many people can't get past the person he is. That's fair, too.
Policy requires study and thought. Trump had zero policies. His oath of office was a joke.
The US Presidency is all about character — the face and voice of who we are as a nation, as a people. Trump had zero character, zero integrity, zero compass. Trump was a narcissist sociopath, morally compromised from the jump.
He sought to destroy America.

The photograph is in every major newspaper’s archives and the New York City Public Library.
It represents the callousness and cruelty of racism in America—which is still at the core of MAGA, the Big Lie, and January 6th.
Raise your game, Lance.
The United States is the greatest nation in history. But, patriotism, democracy, and our values are not passive. Need to earn it every day.
from Arizona talk about not cheating and on and on, throwing in his faith as an honorable
and forthright citizen, that he had seen the light, but when asked if
DJT is the R nominee would he vote for him, without hesitation he said, Yes!
The American political trompe l'oeil - the Republican party.
There is something profoundly wrong in this country if this can be the light that people follow.
Disgusting. HRC got it right - (though she shouldn't have said it aloud) - Trump people are "Deplorable".
In every sense, she was correct.

staff members actually get fired for violations...you can Google examples...

Not so much for FOXnews (see linked article)...
I can trust in the NYT and WaPo to do the right thing...and punish those who don't comply...not a prayer with FOX...so, which news source do you place your trust in?

There are ethical standards at Fox News, we’re told.
But just what they are, or how they’re enforced, is an enduring mystery.
When Sean Hannity and Jeanine Pirro appeared onstage with President Trump at a Missouri campaign rally, the network publicly acknowledged that this ran counter to its practices.
“Fox News does not condone any talent participating in campaign events,” the network said in a statement. “This was an unfortunate distraction and has been addressed.”
Or take what happened this week.
When the staff of “Fox & Friends” was found to have provided a pre-interview script for Scott Pruitt, then the Environmental Protection Agency head, the network frowned: “This is not standard practice whatsoever and the matter is being addressed internally with those involved.”
“Not standard practice” is putting it mildly, as the Daily Beast’s Maxwell Tani — who broke the story — noted, quoting David Hawkins, formerly of CBS News and CNN, who teaches journalism at Fordham University:
“Every American journalist knows that to provide scripts or articles to the government for review before publication or broadcast is a cardinal sin. It’s Journalism 101. This is worse than that. It would and should get you fired from any news organization with integrity.”
Some news organizations publish their standards and ethics guidelines for all to see.
In 2015, for example, BuzzFeed News published its policy with a note from a top editor, Shani O. Hilton, that said the purpose was “to provide context and support for BuzzFeed News staffers in making smart, responsible, and ethical choices” — and to keep staff accountable to readers.
The Washington Post and the New York Times make their policies readily available to the public, as does NPR. The idea — the right one — is that transparency and clarity are crucially important when it comes to enforcing ethics.
That concept is not universally accepted at media companies: As my colleague Erik Wemple wrote last spring, CNN not only doesn’t publish its guidelines but also has fought in court to keep them private. (And like every media organization, CNN has had its share of standards problems, most recently letting guests and commentators lie about climate scientists without disclosing their financial ties to the fossil-fuel industry, as Media Matters reported.)
The broadcast TV networks mostly have standards editors and written policies but don’t make them public.
As for Fox News, it’s hard to know what network standards have been breached, whether written rules exist, or who — if anyone — is in charge of that fraught subject.
On Wednesday, I asked two high-ranking Fox News executives about this: John Stack, senior vice president for news coverage, whom I had met at a recent gathering of standards editors and media ombudsmen, past and present; and Irena Briganti, executive vice president of corporate communications for Fox News and Fox Business.
Does Fox News have a written ethics policy, I asked.
If so, is it published anywhere?
Is there a Fox News standards editor, even if he or she doesn’t have that specific title?
What Fox News standard or practice, exactly, was breached in the way the Pruitt appearance was handled, and what is the nature of the disciplinary measures being taken?
Neither Stack nor Briganti responded at all.
That’s no surprise, really.
The network can’t seem to figure out whether it’s an arm of the Trump administration or a news network — or somehow, impossibly, both.
It boasts of its traditional journalists such as Shepard Smith, Chris Wallace and Bret Baier but never seems to come down hard on its blatant propagandists and bad actors. After Fox personality Laura Ingraham mocked 17-year-old David Hogg last spring, following the massacre at his high school in Parkland, Fla., the network backed her up, despite the public outcry and an advertiser boycott.

tell us they're garbage and fake and so on. What's the sense if you're not going to read them and have an honest conversation about them?
You can't even react to the easy posts with honesty. Why should we bother?
Now you come off trying to blame us for your insecurities. Buck up Henry and pay a dollar a month for a look see into the truth.
