The thing is, the media doesn’t appear to care that it has lost the trust of thinking citizens.
They’ve accepted that they are just to steer the knuckle-draggers at this point - the people stupid enough to believe that Obama would buy their gasoline for them and pay their rent.
I just saw what appeared to be classic “fake news” here in NJ; a reporter said a crowd estimated as high as 25,000 was gathered at Columbus Circle in NYC to protest against Trump, then showed some clips that never showed more than a couple of hundred (at most). If they could get shots of mass crowds (like those attracted by Trump), they would have aired them.
Unfortunately, we still have to live with the dwindling number of stupid people that watch network news.
BEST ELECTION EVER!
