As Bob Woodward recently said on Bill Maher's Show, the media has become lazy. Sometimes we have to give them directions and let them know when they've dropped the ball.

yes, there's a certain amount of laziness in simply parroting back the latest right-wing talking points.

but they certainly displayed no shortage of energy when it came to sifting through the tiniest detail when it came to investigating hillary's emails, for instance. not that they gave much airtime to all she actually accomplished that was evident in those emails, but that's the right-wing bias.

Look who owns them, a handful of large corporations. Helloooo, their money comes from advertising, they are irreparably tainted, biased, and corrupt.

But they're apparently overplaying their hand already. Isn't this what the American people wanted, based on their overwhelming vote for Democrats across the nation? Or don't we talk that way when Democrats take power from the Republicans?
