American democracy is under siege. Yet, in the face of authoritarian assaults on our democracy and the well-being of Americans, the editorial boards of influential news organizations, such as The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, express muted opinions that fail to adequately convey the danger and the harms of the second Trump administration — and are silent on the remedy of impeachment (and calls for resignation). The Founders would be appalled at such timidity.
The duty of the Fourth Estate is not only to inform but to defend the Constitution. Editorial boards speak to their readers, the electorate, fellow members of the press and to the elected officials who have a sworn oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. One mechanism to defend the Constitution is to advocate for impeachment. It appears that as of Dec. 5, 2025, only one independent news organization has called for the impeachment of President Trump. That outlet is the Sentinel Colorado, a non-partisan, local news organization serving Aurora, Colorado.
