Trump offers plenty of opportunities for his detractors to criticize him. In the case of BabyGate, it does appear that the media were quick to spread an unflattering story without confirming some key facts.

If we’re all going to be disagreeing more, we should be careful to do it well. What does it mean to disagree well?
