The MSM will protect this guy no matter what. They supported him in the election and they are invested in him and his policies, especially the NBC/GE folks. If his approval rating is 39% the PMSNBC types will still defend him.
Rats always desert a sinking ship. If his numbers continue to slip and they smell blood they will eventually start to attack. Please remember the big mainstream media types NEVER break the big stories but are all too happy to jump on the bandwagon.
