New heights

There is a fascinating article in the current issue of Vanity Fair about the ongoing battle between The New York Times and the Washington Post. The venerable papers have taken the election of President Trump as a opportunity to continuously out-scoop one another, producing a steady stream of stories that have exposed the darkest elements of Trump's administration and earned both record readerships. I have no idea what will happen to either paper in the future, but I am grateful to them both for their incredibly hard work, and hope that their rivalry continues to push them forward.
