Maybe they just realized that their candidate is going to lose, and they better start kissing up to President Trump.
I think it’s a couple of things.
I think the recent polling says 70% of the country doesn’t trust the media, so they know they are losing their audience and have to save face by actually doing a little reporting now and then.
Trump has also been proclaiming loudly that they are dishonest, corrupt, liars, and several other choice adjectives...or adverbs or nouns or whatever...(I’ve slept since then and I have CRS anyway. And I’m an old fart so I have an excuse...)
Anyway, Trump is making it very public that the media is dishonest and can’t be trusted, they also don’t have much of anything to bash Trump about the past few days, and if the want to get back a little of their reputation they have to do something that looks like reporting news.
Then there’s the distinct possibility that they’ll be dealing with Trump in the Oval Office for at least 4 years, and now they know he’s an enemy they really don’t want...so they have to suck up.
I don’t usually watch any of them at all, just Fox and take that with a bucket of salt and double check as much as I Can online, but this evening we had dinner at my mother’s house, and of course she had ABC on, and they at least mentioned wikileaks...I couldn’t hear a lot of it, low volume or my ears are worse than I thought...but at least they mentioned Hillary and her wikileaks problem.
The bigger problem is, the average low information voter still gets so little from their 20 minutes of news a day, they still are so seriously uninformed it’s depressing, and they seem to believe every word of it. She says sometimes “you scare me”...because I actually don’t believe the propaganda she’s been fed for 50 years. To her credit she despises Hillary but she hates Trump too, and believes every negative word she hears, because she wants to believe he’s a “horrible man”, in her exact words. She’ll probably vote for Hillary to keep Trump from winning. She won’t admit it, but I think she hates Trump more than she hates Hillary...And even when I told her I can prove she’s been lied to all this time, she refuses to even think about looking at the facts...
And that’s the problem, liberals don’t want to know the truth. The MSM is feeding them exactly what they want to hear, they suck it up, and the last thing they want is for someone to come along and burst their little bubble by throwing facts in their faces.
I doubt a little actual reporting will change many minds, most low information voters have been brainwashed to believe Trump will destroy the country, regardless what you tell them about Hillary at this point. Too little, too late.
