**BUMPED UP FROM EARLY AM**

THE DESTRUCTION OF POLITICAL JOURNALISM: My column is up at The Daily Caller.

Thousands of pages have been written about our age of political polarization. Public discourse and political reporting have deteriorated into an “either/or” game, and while polarization has been around since the Jefferson-Adams kerfuffle, the level of anger is unprecedented.

Agree with me or I’ll call you terrible names.

** It was interesting to see in the comments on original posting how many people proved my point. They saw critique of Trump’s personality (despite admitting I agree with some of his policies) and went into immediate freakout/insult mode instead of actually, you know, reading the entire column.***
