One question (for which there is no answer): did Ms. Anders also feel the need to defend the previous President when he was unfairly targeted by the media?

It's all well and good to say that "the media" defended Obama in ways that it doesn't defend Trump, but the Conservative Media (Fox, Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Reilly, et al) attacked Obama at least as viciously, and certainly with less merit, than the MSM "attacks" Trump. Where were the cries to understand that President? Where were the cries that the Right shouldn't antagonize the Left, lest they defend Obama?
What Trump has done, separating children from their parents, is simply
outrageous. But he does something outrageous [/I]every single week.[/I] If Ms. Anders feels she should defend Trump for this, and the previous thing, and the thing before that, and the thing before that...what makes you think not attacking Trump will change her mind? Sure, maybe she won't defend him. She will merely continue to
tolerate him. IOW, she will still support him, but without any extra effort.
Trump is f**king up our country. If people can't recognize that, then no amount of restraint by Liberals will help them see it. Quietly objecting to his outrageous actions only makes them seem less outrageous, more normal, than they are (or should be). If Ms. Anders can't hear what George Will and Steve Schmidt are saying, what makes you think silencing the overblown criticism will help?
And most importantly, what makes anyone think anyone
can silence "overblown criticism?" No one was able to silence Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck or Coulter. What makes anyone think the Left can silence the nameless nimbobs? And yet I keep hearing how these nameless critics will do so much more damage than Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck and Coulter.

When the Right can get Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Ingrahm and Coulter to shut up, then we can talk about silencing the overblown criticism from the Left. Until then, though, it's just a double-standard: the Right can say anything they please, and the Left should quietly take it, like the good boys that they are.
