I watched the news conference Thursday conducted by President Trump’s campaign attorneys, and later visited the websites of the major networks to see what their interpretation of the bombshell would be.

The noisy and elaborate pretense of the United States’ and foreign media celebrating that the Trump era has ended and that he is finished as a political force and that he should do the adult thing and just concede and vanish is the latest chapter in the conduct of the real loser in this election: the American, and by imitation the foreign, media.
