Yesterday, Trump raised the prospect of deploying the military against his political opponents. Extraordinary by any historical measure. Here are the front pages of 8 of the leading newspapers in the US the morning after. Nothing. Zero. Zip. Democracy dies in silence.

Front page of the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal with no mention of Trump’s threats to use the military against his political opponents.
Front page of LA Times and Boston Globe with no mention of Trump’s threats to use the military against his political opponents.
Front page of the San Francisco Chronicle and USA Today with no mention of Trump’s threats to use the military against his political opponents.
Front page of the Philadelphia Inquirer and NY Times with no mention of Trump’s threats to use the military against his political opponents.

"Our liberty cannot be guarded but by the freedom of the press, nor that be limited without danger of losing it." Thomas Jefferson to John Jay, 1786.

Jefferson is still right. The press is concentrated in the hands of a few owners.

No boaters with Nazi flags either. You’d think that would have made for an attention-grabbing image.
