I have a theory for why the mainstream press won& #39;t push stories about inhumane treatment in ICE facilities and the like

It& #39;s b/c when you write those stories and really report out the details and wrestle with them, you& #39;re left with the conclusion that Trump supporters are *evil*
And the mainstream press doesn& #39;t like painting Trump supporters are *evil*, because they& #39;re fellow whites. So they have to be dumb or duped or aggrieved or misled, but they can& #39;t be *evil.*
B/c if they& #39;re *evil* then the press has to wrestle with the fact that their racist family members are also evil. Some of their colleagues are evil. And they& #39;d have to atone for their professional help in promoting evil through their massive "but her emails" campaign.
They CAN& #39;T do that. They can& #39;t look at themselves in the mirror that harshly for that long. And do they& #39;d rather talk about Russia or whatever he said on Twitter.

They can& #39;t LOOK at what Trump is doing in concentration camps, b/c then they& #39;d have to look at themselves.
