A popular journalist #onHere recently posted a link to this article:

He found the treatment of the Trump family's grifting "shameful" and "normalizing." When I read the article, it seems to me that it's telling the reader what has happened and providing some context for it being very, very unusual, while trying not to tell us how to feel about that. Curious what my mutuals think about that.
For posterity, here's the OP: https://mastodon.social/@dangillmor/116400412777869587
