This is satire, but I find examples daily of exactly this reasoning in respected publications. Trump is a crook, they reason, and we should not need to prove it. He just is, they scream. Rush is right; Trump has driven the press and a good part of the Democrat Party faithful literally insane.
Let me lay out my reasoning. Trump, as we all know, is a criminally corrupt president, unfit and emotionally unstable. It is our job as reporters to discover the evidence that proves these facts. But here’s the rub – finding evidence is difficult and expensive. Can’t we just jump to the end and say he’s guilty already?
First of all, we know he’s guilty because we feel these facts deep within our bones. We feel the knowledge of his guilt well up inside us when he appears on the TV screen. We flush to its terrible revelation when he speaks. It’s insulting, frankly, that we should have to prove this guilt by “standards” of “law.”
