America's new president gave an address to a joint session of Congress. The Los Angeles Times posted a full transcript of the speech (along with remarks from its staff that may require Javascript to view); Bloomberg uploaded a video of the event.
The New York Times called it "the most presidential speech Mr. Trump has ever given — delivered at precisely the moment he needed to project sobriety, seriousness of purpose and self-discipline."

I'm waiting for the news outlets to wise up, when being shut out of his news briefings, to broadcast instead old news stories of him.
Like the good old stories of his antics from the 80's, .. drunken orgies with nubiles, and cheating on his wife Ivana and children.
Like the song: "Trump the monster ego" sung to the tune of Puff the magic dragon, https://neilrogers.org/trump-monster-ego/ [neilrogers.org]
Then again they have plenty to talk about how every business venture of his, he has bankrupted.
There is plenty of malice for anyone willing to give a shit.

That would immediately backfire. It would only confirm the narrative that they're out to get him, and that they are the enemies of the American people.
What they ought to do is pay Jon Stewart a lot of money to tell them to follow the advice he gave them for free on HuffPo a couple days ago: try practicing real journalism. It's the only real choice they have, but so far it looks like they're going to follow your playbook, and not Jon's.
Washington DC delenda est.

Actually, I'm waiting for them to do some old-school investigative journalism. But that would mean forgoing the daily press briefing from the WH and, instead, pounding the pavement, interviewing people, and looking through actual official government documents, etc. Very few "journalists" seem to actually do that any more. Yes, the scare quotes are quite intentional.
