Every accusation is a confession...

For years, the far right has harped on and on about the concept of "the liberal media" and how the news media actively gets involved to help Democratic candidates and office holders.

And today's testimony in the Trump trial is that Trump and the National Enquirer had a working and standing agreement to expressly print positive stories about Trump and negative stories about his opponent.

Today has been a very, very bad day for Trump. Mark my words on that.

They keep you occupied at the front door ranting about all the neighbors they say are thieves, while their partner is slipping in your back door and cleaning out the family jewels.
