Can we stop ignoring the 800 pound gorilla in the room?

The Russians, the Kochs, Mercer, et al had billions on hand to spend on swinging this election. Do we really think that a few hacked Hillary and DNC emails, people saying skeevy stuff on Facebook, and some oppo research was all they got for that money?

I'm thinking that more than a few people high in the media ended up with really nice nest eggs for their excellent work in turning a moral microscope on Hillary while ignoring Trump.

The amount of false equivalency is saw throughout the entire campaign on the entire news media, along with hours of live empty trump podium coverage was mind numbing. I don't give any of the major news outlets anymore ratings. They are highly responsible for Trumps election.

They were either paid off or they wanted trump to win because they could milk the outrage over him winning and bring back their ratings again.
