‘The Media Has to Be More Blunt’: Tomasky on Trump’s ‘Attack’ on Democratic Values

RUSH EXCERPT:

TOMASKY: "The media does have to be standing for the values of democracy. And the values of the republic that we live in and that we’ve been trying to perfect for 250 years and against the values that would attack that. Donald Trump very clearly is out to attack those values. He tells us that in one form or another every week. We were preparing that issue of The New Republic, and you know, I was wondering if, you know, maybe is this going a little far. But then he comes out with the Time Magazine interview and I said no, this Time Magazine is every single word we are writing. And the media has to be more blunt and say, look, this man said he is going to do this."
