President Trump is getting information and affirmation from Fox News, and he's going a step further, openly promoting the conservative cable news channel.
It wasn't until college that I officially embraced feminism. I minored in women's studies, read Ms. magazine, had a poster of Frida Kahlo on my dorm room wall and joined a campus women's group.
At least 1,300 miles long, 40 feet high, and containing 19 million tons of concrete. Donald Trump's much heralded wall along the Mexican border would be a massive undertaking.
Just the idea that a show could announce, in all sincerity, "Who can turn the world on with her smile?" while its star twirled and beamed at the audience, and then week after week make that statement unchallengeable, speaks to how thoroughly magical a presence Mary Tyler Moore was on television in the 1960's and 70's.
Donald Trump's fascination with TV ratings as proof of his popularity -- and his willingness to exaggerate them in self-serving and wholly inaccurate ways -- is nothing new.
