"...How have we reached a point in this country when nearly half the voters of a U.S. state so mistrust, and even revile, major media outlets that they are willing to brush aside credible evidence and elect an accused sexual predator simply out of spite? How have we reached a point where a president of the United States can just declare “fake” news he doesn’t like—and largely get away with it?
In at least one survey, trust in the media—the necessary vanguard of any free society—is even lower than trust in Trump, which itself is nothing to tweet about. How on earth has this happened?..."

"How on earth has this happened?...


It's comical that they're so out of reality that they would still ask that question. It happened because the fake news outlets didn't care what they printed if it would just make someone vote for their sorry candidates. It's really pitiful that I don't even know if they can right this ship. The only ones buying their propaganda are the same ones over and over again with no new followers. That's how Trump got elected the new blood voted him in. The Deplorables that denied Killery a victory that she thought was wrapped up. The Deplorables motto this time around was (because of Oblunder) "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me".

I think a lot of it started with Ted "Blond in a Pond" Kennedy.
