7. The mainstream media doesn't want to admit what they did.

I wasn't originally in the Hillary camp(Bernie in the primary) so I'm somewhat objective here. They beat on her and beat on her and beat on her some more. Bernie beat on her and beat on her and beat on her some more when it was time to admit defeat. At no point did they think it was time for him to let it go.

Meanwhile, they gave legitimacy to that asshole trump by playing entire trump speeches and letting his surrogates run rampant and unchecked. Now they want to sweep that dirt under the rug and admit no part in bringing about this clusterfuck of epic proportions. No-sir, the media assholes played for ratings and aided in putting that fucking skunk and cabal of skunks into office.

I have completely written off a whole slew of media including some of the talking heads on our side. We needed these people to use their platforms and form a political bulwark to stop the spread of lies trump surrogates were pushing. Not only did they fail to do that but they simultaneously beat the shit out of Hillary about those goddamn emails. They had one job as purveyors of news and abject in their failure to do so only magnifies my anger toward them now.

I'm still pissed at how they helped flush this country down the drain through inaction. I don't care how hard they go at Trump now. It's always going to be a stain on their reps as far as I'm concerned.

Yes the news media (new$ infotainment industry) sold us down the river FakeNoose Sep 2017 #53
You aren't naive at all. It most likely came down from the top. I'm a bit old skool in my thinking Afromania Sep 2017 #54
