I wish we could purge this idiotic nonsense.

The media reporting on the awful outrageous things didn't elect Trump. The voters who voted for Trump elected Trump.

It's news when Trump says awful outrageous things and they should be covered more, not less.

Otherwise you end up 'obeying in advance.'

Fucking shithead morons still blaming the media instead of Trump and Trump's voters. Stop it.

There is too much blame to go around, and not enough people and orgs wanting to acknowledge blame.

Trump did not become a household name randomly. He was helped and aided by many. And I have noticed hundreds of times how the main stream media enabled his word salad and gave it meaning and power. In real life, not many people listen to blathering hateful idiots.
