There's your answer - Hillary (and the bullshit that is heaped around her) is a media construct. The "widely loved" stuff, the "smartest woman" stuff - all scripted and broadcast. They've invested so much in the image, they're willing to conceal her likely health problems - and allow her to run rampant with corruption. It's all part of the deal. Now, Trump is sort of a media construct as well - but not a serious one like Hillary. She is the Fourth Estate's effort to continue heavily influencing national politics, while Trump was just one of many "celebrities" that they've practiced on for fun.
The mediots must be aghast at the unfolding scenario - their serious creation, patiently promoted since the 1990s, is faltering at the crucial moment. Meanwhile, the guy that they toyed with and splattered across countless tabloid front pages has grown beyond their ability to control. To them, this is the worst "monster movie" imaginable. Pass the popcorn.
It’s basically become the art of writing a story, not of finding salient facts.
America doesn’t want the embarrassment of having it resound from sea to shining sea that their empress was naked.
