By the height of the Watergate scandal in 1974, virtually every major newspaper in America had called for President Richard Nixon's resignation. During the investigation and impeachment of Bill Clinton in 1998, more than 100 newspapers called for him to resign.
But President Donald J. Trump? He could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody... and not a single major daily newspaper would call for his resignation.....
After three years of political and actual carnage under Trump, including Robert Mueller's description of acts that amounted to, he told Congress, obstruction of justice; Trump's "fine people on both sides" reaction to a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville where a counter-protester was killed; his rampant conflicts of interest and credible accusations of his violations of the emoluments clause of the Constitution; his close to 17,000 false statements; a travel ban that primarily targets mostly Muslim-majority countries; impeachment for alleged extortion of a foreign government (he was acquitted in the Republican Senate), and the gross mishandling of a deadly pandemic, you'd think somebody on an editorial board might say it's time for the President to leave.
But this has not happened. Why not?
Not knowing the answer, I set out to talk to a lot of smart people to find out why.

Do Editorial Boards even still exist? Does anybody care?
The story of the week is the shady dealings of Obama and his crew, so Joe Lockhart comes out with another call to impeach Trump. What a joke Lockhart is. A clown. A buffoon. A creep. A pig. An ass. A fraud. Up against the wall, Joe.
CNN is the enemy of the American people. It literally is the Commie News Network and disinformation/propaganda wing of the criminal organization known as the Democrat Party. There’s not such thing as a non corrupt dem or CNN employee.
Two enemies under one umbrella comparing the days talking points so they are always saying the same thing.
CNN should be shut down for being a traitorous enemy. In a more enlightened time they would not only be shut down but the enemies within would spend at least 20 years in a gulag eating old rice and drinking used washtub water. Even that would be considered a light punishment for their crimes against the people.
Joe Lockhart drinks his own bathwater.
Because they want President Trump to save their worthless hides before they go back on the attack.

Because We The People are seeing you Fake News Propagandists much more clearly now...even you folks scraping the bottom of the scum barrel sense that a clarion call for the President to step down because of your TDS would backfire.......bigly.
