Their man lost the last election, and so they are both attempting to undermine an "enemy" President and punishing the American public for not voting their way. These are folks who also are wondering why newspaper sales and network viewership are down...
That explanation works today but what is the reason the press has distorted the news in favor of our enemies before that? I'm thinking at least as far back as the "Thet Offensive crushed American forces..." line of BS.
