Most Trump supporters have a list of reasons for supporting him. America first, stopping illegal immigration, economic resurgence, better trade deals, nominating conservative judges, taking the country back – any and all of the issues he championed will do. Those are part of the great agenda, and he has actually moved the ball forward on most issues he fought for.
Less commented on but every bit as important are those things you might call the unintended, and simultaneously very surprising, consequences of Trump's presidency.
These start with the media exposing themselves. Most of us knew about left-leaning media bias, but the fawning press given to Saint Barack got a lot of us to see just how bad this problem was. Sean Hannity was entirely accurate in 2008, pronouncing that journalism is dead.
Good historians are likely writing about what happened to the media. Recently, Sean Hannity interviewed Camille Paglia, left-leaning feminist. Here is what she had to say about the media's fall:
It's obscene. It's outrageous. Okay? It shows that the Democrats are nothing now but words and fantasy and hallucination and Hollywood. Okay? There's no journalism left. What's happened – okay – to The New York Times? What's happened to the major networks? This is an outrage.
I'm a professor of media studies, in addition to a professor of humanities, okay? And I think it's absolutely grotesque the way my party has destroyed journalism. Right now, it's going to take decades to recover from this atrocity that's going on, where the news media have turned themselves over into the most childish fraternity, kind of buffoonish behavior.
Thirty years to recover? Awesome. It's a welcome unintended consequence of Trump's presidency, the passing of media charlatans. Marvelous indeed.

The Ministry of Propaganda has been exposed and they will never regain their credibility.
From your keyboard to God’s ears.
:-)
They have been exposed. It’s going to be hilarious when they get so angry they EXPODE!
All well and good, but the pubbies don’t like power. They don’t know what to do with it. None of them want to lose their seats, but its far easier to be the minority and accepts crumbs from the rats, who are pros at abuse of power.
It is why the GOP colludes w/rats to oust our President.
It’s a welcome unintended consequence of Trump’s presidency, the passing of media charlatans. Marvelous indeed.
The Establishment Media must die for the Republic to live.
Unintended??
That was Trump’s number one priority.
He understood from the beginning that without destroying the propaganda organs he would not be able to implement most of his agenda.
What the L is EXPODE?
Everybody knows I can't spel.
Trump needs to form a Trump wing in the GOP..
The GOP is dying at the national level
Most GOP governors are doing great jobs..
Wisc and WV are becoming redder..
It will take a year to get the economy going..jobs going to states Trump won for the most part
If the GOP does nothing I can see Trump campaigning against the RINOS in 2018 primaries
And if they explode.
Amnesty Senators first
Corker, Hatch, Heller and Flake in 2018
“Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” is the playbook for the media and the deep state.
However, it’s doubtful that the media and President Trumps persecutors will have the “come to Jesus” moment that the evil senator had, publicly admitting that he was behind the smears.
I have to agree that much like Sinn Fein was the political arm of the terrorist IRA, the democrat party is the political arm of the terrorist MSM.

The DNC Media woke up from their eight year long self induced Coma on November 8, 2016.
The gasses escaping Obama’s Butthole in 2008 put them to sleep as soon as they began taking deep breathes.
Left out my favorite: Torpedo-ing Washington DC.
Correct. And even though the media has been completely discredited and indeed is hated by normal Americans, the Republicans are still paralyzed with the fear of potential negative MSM coverage. They should be considering it a badge of honor and a virtual guarantee that they’ll be re-elected!
Republicans are so stupid. In addition to being greedy cowards.
