Donald Trump *personally* caused the crisis in confidence in US bonds, the approx 10% slide in the S&P 500 in the last month, and the unfolding collapse of international tourism to the United States. Leaving aside everything he did before, he should be the biggest pariah ever to hold the office.

...Sullivan calls on readers to "demand better" from news outlets. & they should, of course.
But they should also look at the other endemic pressures (ie profit motives) that led to this failure, & advocate for more systemic change.
Supporting a robust public/noncommercial media system is a start.
