The fact is even that would not have hurt Clinton if the media did not play a huge role in propping up trump. If the media didn't do false equivalencies and other shitty coverage.

Cuomo is only upset at how it hurt cnn ratings. But they did the same shit in providing free coverage without asking questions.

They just let the birther thing pass and act like all is normal and it continues to today. All the bigotry, fucked up tweeting, lies, and other shit is talked about when it happens but then they just move on without demanding answers.
