Adding to your point: I sense they've taken a tacky and somewhat nannyish "guardian of democracy" approach in their headline selection lately. I like to be told the news, but it felt as if I was being told how I should be voting; it seemed manipulative and insulting to my intelligence and experience.

I feel a sense of distrust between the news editors and their readers; that Citizen Kane feeling.

That said, I thought David Brooks' latest piece was well-put.

I've felt this sentiment since slightly before the conventions. Ask this independent voter why he's anxious for this to all be over? It's all the "Do you want Trump? Because that's how you get Trump" histrionics.

"Do you want Hillary?"

That too.
