I was thinking the same thing. When you make blanket condemnation of various entities in society you damage your own message. I have known some honest journalists, lawyers, politicians, etc. I recently worked on the Beto O'Rourke campaign for that very reason. You could dismiss him under the accusation that "they are all the same," but you would be wrong. He is different than most. Of course he lost for refusing to cater his message to each special interest group. Oh well, back to the drawing board.
