#EndorseThis: Trump Scandals Too Dizzying? Trevor Noah Sorts It For You (And Fox Viewers)

If you find the daily deluge of Trump scandals too dizzying to follow; if you need to step back, take a breath, and gain perspective on the unfolding national disgrace of this administration; if you are simply exhausted and confused, then Trevor Noah is ready to help.

Trump's Hour On CNN Was A Profile In Cowardice

Vanity Fair recently reported that several journalists from mainstream publications, including The Washington Post, NBC News, Axios, and Vanity Fair, were denied press access to Trump’s campaign events, seemingly in retaliation for their previous critical coverage. Meanwhile, Media Matters found that the campaign has granted press credentials to the QAnon-promoting MG Show and Brenden Dilley, a podcaster who has promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory and leads a “meme team” that creates pro-Trump content.
