Interesting piece. The author is certainly no friend of Trump but this, I think, is the main point:

And while Donald Trump conducting foreign policy based on what he sees on Fox and Friends is troubling, it’s not in the same ballpark as CNN, MSNBC, the Washington Post and the New York Times engaging in de facto coverage partnerships with the FBI and CIA to push highly politicized, phony narratives like Russiagate.

The author won't quite call that a coup but that's what it is. The country has lived through Presidents at all points in the competence continuum. It has never lived through anything like this. The Left, who are the beneficiaries of the moment, have closed ranks to protect this new ruling class, thinking that it's going to advance their own power. Theirs is the old Marxist doctrine of permanent revolution, but if this coup does turn permanent they've a very nasty surprise coming.

Trump, at least insofar as we know, has not used section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to monitor political rivals. He hasn’t deployed human counterintelligence “informants” to follow the likes of Hunter Biden. He hasn’t maneuvered to secure Special Counsel probes of Democrats.

Do you get the feeling he's implying that Obama did DO all of the above?

it’s not in the same ballpark as CNN...

Let's not forget that it was CNN's Eason Jordan who admitted to the New York Times that he conspired with Saddam Hussein to cover up unfavorable news about the Iraqi regime in order to keep his Baghdad bureau open.
