So now that they realize that Donnie is playing them, something we all knew from the beginning, they are upset?
Well, be careful what you ask for. . . The media wanted this. They wanted a horse-race. They just didn't see that Donnie was a jack-a**.

(1,493 posts)The media is responsible for this fiasco. As long as it's entertainment and ratings for them, who gives a sh*t. Well media, I do and I find what you are doing as dishonorable, dishonest and a YUGE disservice to us all.

(2,145 posts)20 years ago. It was too biased and the corporate agenda was too in your face. I still watched MSNBC until last year when the "election" heated up, thanks n large part to them. But when they were giving trump so much free advertising with nary a follow up question or fact check in sight, I couldn't stand it any more. Now, I watch Amy Goodman and France 24 and that is about it.
American media is too biased and too unprofessional and they just do not bother covering real news or real issues. I will stick with a few alternate media outlets and a few sources in Europe. That way I have a pretty good idea what is actually happening in the world.
Has anyone else noticed that, to the US media, the rest of the world does not even exist unless a bomb explodes? One that isn't a US bomb or drone.
