The Ugly American: Donald Trump is our Mirror, not an Outlier
By Tom Engelhardt | ( Tomdispatch.com ) | – – This is not about Donald Trump. And I mean it. From the moment the first scribe etched a paean of praise to Nebuchadnezzar into a stone tablet, it’s reasonable to conclude that never in history has the media covered a single human being as it […]
