Victory Remains Unreported

Ross Douthat, a never-Trumper, writes in The New York Times that the President has won the territorial war against the ISIS Caliphate and is doing better than expected with the rest of his foreign policy. You can read a detailed summary of the article here at Power Line which, unlike Douthat's article itself, is not behind a paywall. A choice quote:

The mainstream media has tried to mitigate the embarrassment of ISIS’ defeat by ignoring it. Ross Douthat is among those who have noticed.

He calls it “a case where the media is not adequately reporting an important success because it does not fit into the narrative of Trumpian disaster in which our journalistic entities are all invested.”

Like Rodney Dangerfield, Donald Trump "can't get no respect" ...  in the legacy media.
