The media gave us Trump as they thought he was the most defeat able. His press during the primaries was very good. They turned on him like pack of hungry jackals 10 seconds after he won the nomination.
The press also gave us Hillary Clinton and have supported her in the primaries and general.
The bucket of deplorable is the press. They do lie outright and also lie by omission of anything bad for Hillary. If the press were honest she would be way down in the polls.
I don’t quite buy the “media gave us Trump”. They covered him to be sure, just as they do now, 24/7. But please recall the monstrous, vapors-inducing coverage he received for:
1) Calling out many illegal immigrants rapists and criminals who Mexico shoved over the border.
2) Calling for a muslim ban
3) Insulting McCain’s war record
4) Insulting Vagyn Smelly after the first debate
5) Vowing to surveil the mosques
6) Insulting Carly’s face
7) Send all illegals home
8) Calling out GWB for deception going into Iraq
9) Telling the world theat thousands of US muslims celebrated 9-11
10) Demanding that Perry take and IQ test
It goes on and on. Media Coverage yes. BUT - 90% negative and hysterical, including “conservative” media including Fox News, National Review, the WSJ, Human Events, Weekly Standard, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Salem Media, Medved, Hot Air, Hugh Hewitt, 98% of former GOP consultants, Right Scoop, The Federalist, the NY Post, Red Eye Radio, NH Union Leader, the entire British Press, the Blaze, Investors Business Daily, News Max, the Washington Times, Twitchy, Allen West, Powerline, American Spectator, Front Page Magazine, Lucianne.com, AIM, AEI, Heritage Foundation, etc, etc etc.
The ONLY positive media he had was Ingraham, Hannity, Dobbs, Coulter, Howie Carr, Savage, Breitbart, Drudge and the Conservative Treehouse.
