I Believe The MSM & Press Still Supports Trump. He Sells. They Still Play Democrats.

Despite their protests the press and MSM are still giving the GOP and Trump a pass by the way they cover them. They treat the GOP like they are legitimate. They are silent when it comes to going after the GOP leadership who is complicit in the Russian caper and silent all all the GOP madness.

They still are baiting the Democrats in many ways. They still feature GP bullshit nationally. They still use Democrats for political cannon fodder on Sunday mornings. They still play the both siderism, what about and allow the GOP to put out its racist code. They still allow Fox to put out its vomit and treats it like a legitimate new organization. They never really attack Fox noise for its unAmerican activities.

They are whiting about the monster they helped created now that it is attacking them.

Democrats don't have a dedicated "fair and balanced" channel like Republicans have with Fox News. Never have. Its been like that since AM radio started, with its deluge of right wing shows.

The ability to draw an audience is Trump’s only talent. He is the perpetual real life villain in a virtual professional wrestling match. Those who hate him feed the ego as well as those who support him. Media is so easy for Trump to dominate.

and running for re-election, we'll need somebody that can steal at least some of his media thunder.
