Edit: Just to clarify, my stance here is not "ignore everything Trump." He has done and will do quite a lot of things that warrant attention and concern. He's also a serial liar and world class bullshitter. A human testament to the phrase, "actions speak louder than words." Donald Trump's political success has always hinged on the fact that people are quick to forget that. He's already working overtime to distract from the fact that the majority of his campaign promises were just lies and the sooner he can make the people who voted for him forget all the pie in the sky shit they were promised, the better.
All media/journalism is struggling to make ends meet and no one in (real) media wants Trump to be in power. This cynical theory of the media is fucking stupid.
Oh yeah, they are indeed struggling to make ends meet which is exactly why they're doing this because THIS is what makes them money. Outrage sells so if they have to sell trump, they sell trump.
Is it cynical? I'm sure it is, it's also what it is
That's so fucking stupid! They're covering it because it's news!
the media is owned by the elites. the journalists are not, but you'll never work in journalism again if you push against the ones that hold the leash.
