Denial is a basic human trait. But media denial denies us the knowledge and analysis we need to make reasonable sense of the world. Most American journalists are not decoding or assembling the world for us - they're more or less smashing it into thousands of fragmentary tales and leaving matters at that.

I'm afraid it's that of a cowed press in denial about, and so denying us, the larger picture of this administration's assault on us, our rights, our land and the planet. Read the papers, turn on the TV, and you'll see some of the trees (those not being felled by this administration), but catch hardly a glimpse of the forest.
