Media and Acedemic 'FakeNews' are related

Dr. Pipes,

I regret you were the victim of a personal, ad hominem misinformation attack; I am a longtime follower and, while we occasionally disagree, I consider your ethical approach to commentary beyond reproach.

Would you not agree that such attacks, similar to those visited almost daily by the Mainstream Media on POTUS Trump, are a function of the radical Left, which has abandoned virtually all journalistic/ academic standards & scruples in pursuit of an 'End Justifies the Means' strategy, to quash opposition? Do you not view today's Academia and the 4th Estate as monolithic?
