14. But The Media Share A Large Responsibility For The Current State Of Affairs
Thu Nov 3, 2016, 11:09 PM
Nov 2016

There primary goal is to create a horserace because of the favorable impact to the bottom line. That has meant that this year Trump has gotten 70% of the coverage. It also means they have to skip fact checking what he says. Here they do a poll on their handiwork and everybody agrees that it has been especially ugly. Where are the questions on why they feel this way? There is one candidate that is exclusively responsible for this state of affairs but the media won't point the finger at Trump. Money really does corrupt everything.
