Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Love or hate him, Bill Maher is right about this: Trump is building up a police state to get us used to seeing the military on our streets, to get us used to seeing people disappeared for no reason, and thus to lay the groundwork to declare an "emergency" if the next election doesn't go his way.
