Just because something is easy to say, doesn’t mean that short-hand “label” is the best way to describe it.
Such, I contend, is the case concerning the Media’s favorite label for the upcoming Trump Trial:
The Hush Money Case
I think this short-hand label misses the point of the charges being leveled — which I tried to explain here.
I also think, that constantly calling it the “Hush Money” trivializes and sensationalizes this pivotal time in American history, that allowed Donald Trump to somehow slink into power. Via means and methods, contrary to American values, and in violation of laws, norms, and our everyday sense of fair play.
And the American Media has been further normalizing these new American Standards ever since.
They can do better. They must do better.
Their “normalization” of Trump’s abnormal behavior must stop somewhere. And the Trump Trial starting next week in New York, would be an excellent place to start …
To start calling a crime, a Crime.

The Poll below suggests some alternate ways to describe the “Trump dates a porn star” case. Please choose a more fitting label for those actions and events, now finally being held to account.
Or add your own more-fitting “label” in the comments below. Thanks for playing along at home!
