Comment on Donald Trump hasn't broken journalism. It was broken when he got there.

Donald Trump hasn't broken journalism. It was broken when he got there.

The premise of this article is that Donald Trump, by virtue of his willingness to openly lie about facts and shift whatever positions he might take not just from one day to the next, but within the same speech or, sometimes, sentence, has broken the press. Specifically, he has broken the sacred Interview, upon which all modern journalism rests. Trump has defeated the interview by ignoring the impersonal social control it thrusts upon its subjects.
