RE: How Liberal Media Turned Trump's Natural Opposition Into Supporters
I always hated Trump and was okay with the bad press he got, same goes for Clinton though. Votes for either of them were wasted because in the end we get the same thing with either one, boastful arrogance, war, and continued elitism.
The media is as corrupt as Clinton is, if they had any decency they would have spent their time building up real candidates instead of playing to those idiots.
I disagree. When you say we get the same thing with either one, I believe you are creating a false equivalency. Sure, there is elitism and arrogance with them both, but to say equally bad, when one candidate believes in science & climate change, does not dog whistle to racists, and was not caught bragging about sexual exploits on an Access Hollywood tape . . . while the other has the exact opposites, not to mention one is very busy on Twitter. And this is just to name a few.
The role of the media? Mixed at best. It is just a person's POV if they should have spent more time covering Bernie Sanders, or gave Donald Trump less free media time, or have Matt Lauer posing email after email question to Hillary Clinton.... I won't even get into Fox News.
Is there a potential solve? Sure! Shorten the political election cycle, eliminate ads, try to get the dark $$$ out of it. This all could help.
