LOL, Politico's John Harris says Trump's success is built on a movement of contempt for people in the media like himself

It's about THEMSELVES, you see, not about the issues, about mere ephemera, not about real things. The narcissism is absolutely amazing.

He misunderstands that the contempt is just a twofer:

People are drawn to Trump and the contempt he expresses toward his opponents, especially liberal politicians and the news media, precisely because of the contempt he draws in return. This is the through line of his politics.

The rhetoric of Democrats and so-called journalists like John Harris is seamlessly spoken.

Politico co-founder and so-called journalist John Harris should suspend and fire himself

From the story here:

Both VandeHei and Harris are familiar with how severe the repercussions for opinionated tweets can be. In 2012, when they were running Politico together, the organization suspended and then fired a reporter because of remarks he had made on television and Twitter, including one remark suggesting that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was only comfortable around white people.

In the memo announcing the journalist's suspension, Harris and VandeHei reminded staff that all journalists had a "clear and inflexible responsibility to cover politics fairly and free of partisan bias."
