There also is a lot of media sensationalism and bad reporting along with grandstanding by guys like Schiff. Trump hits back when he is attacked. If the media moves on from the collusion narrative, Trump may calm down a little, which would be good for the country. [/quote]
I mean, pragmatically I get your point. But it's not the media's job to protect American democracy, it's our elected officials'. And I do't really think there's any likelihood of Trump calming down if the media were to just lay off the "Russia stuff".

1) Even this piece suggests that we need to investigate the Russia stuff associated with their interference. It's Trump's fault that his behavior has been to deny there's a problem and then continue to support allies who have lied at every opportunity about their interactions with Russia. Before these things happened, most of MSM's reporting did not tie Trump directly to Russian meddling. The linking of the things is primarily on Trump, and had he come out forcefully against Russia early on he could have easily owned the issue.

2) We're talking about a man who went unhinged when NPS released a photograph of his inauguration. Unless you accept the premise that Trump should never be criticized in public, I'm not holding my breath for him to "calm down" any time soon.[/quote]
