Namdar gives no examples of these critical and “personally insulting” news stories, but I feel it’s necessary to point out that when a President commits crimes, or says something disgusting about women or veterans, or tells any of the literally more than thirty thousand documented lies Trump told during his presidency, that’s newsworthy and something we the people (and the press) SHOULD be critical about, regardless of whether or not the president finds it “personally insulting.”

Namdar is arguing for a system where nobody is allowed to criticize Dear Leader. This is fascism. She goes on for several paragraphs, outraged that the media would dare criticize Trump or his staff. In fact, Vice President Pence’s office threatened reporter Steve Herman with retaliation for accurately reporting that Pence visited the Mayo clinic without wearing a mask, which was explicitly against their rules at the time (there is photographic evidence of this.)
