Par For The Course

Chris Cillizza continues to cement his status as the world's biggest hack by reporting - credulously - Trump's claim to have shot a 68 on a PGA course. 

Paul Campos does a good job of breaking down why Trump lying about his golf score is a bigger deal than just the latest manifestation of his narcissism. But it's also worth noting that Cillizza's uncritical stenography is fundamentally at odds with the mission of journalism.  In a sane world, this would be cause for demotion, if not outright firing.
