The problems with the media are not caused by Trump - they have just been EXPOSED by Trump. The problem with the news is 1.) biased reporting and 2.) fake news.

As much as I hate that Fox paid out Dominion, I think it was a positive for the news media. Before, the media would simply lie without repercussion as the Conservatives would never take them to court over their lies. That all changed with Dominion and you see that with the 60 Minutes lawsuit - fakenews is now more cautious about the lies they tell as they are no longer just worried about their shrinking viewership - they now face an existential crisis if they are taken to court.

Regardless, I think this problem solves itself once RFK bans drug advertising on TV. At that point, 50-75% of their ad revenue dries up and the news channels (including Fox) will be forced to make accurate news programs so that they can draw an audience from both the right and left.

Fascists always attack the media first, because they need you to not believe what you hear when reports of their crimes emerge. And you fell for it like a chump. Trump stole the term FAKE NEWS from democrats who were calling his pile of lies fake news.

The media torched their own credibility. They 100% own that.

The media said trump was colluding with putin. Trump called it fake news and declared himself exonerated.

The media was right.

They also said Hillary pushed a fake collusion hoax... They were right, and you stuck your fingers in your ears and doubled down like JPY on 2-for-1 night at the Flyin' J.

If it was fake why did trump choose russian asset paul manafort as his campaign manager, out of everything in the world he could have picked? Why wasn't mueller allowed to investigate trump's financial ties to russia? And why couldnt trump testify about it under oath?

Evil hillary testified under oath for 11 hours. Trump couldnt do it for 11 seconds.
