Try the media. If the media were doing the job they claim that they do, namely, to be fair arbiters of information, would the internet and alternative media ever have risen?

The media has been trending toward the pooper for decades. They want to blame Trump?!?! Please!!

How did the media treat Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Robert Bork, Jesse Helms, and George W. Bush? And now look at their blind, slobbering hatred for Trump.

But I’m sure there will be some mealy mouthed excuses and blathering about how we are all mistaken.

Well, that is a bit like saying the thief got caught because he stole stuff.

Without the internet, Dan Rather would be respected. We didn’t learn about Walter Cronkite until the internet effectively exposed him.

So, what killed the MSM is that they didn’t recognize that the old phrase, “If we don’t report it, it didn’t happen.” Is from a bygone time. They must change or die, just as U.S. car manufacturers learned when Japanese cars started hitting the market.

The internet changes the game.
