The M$M would LOVE a televised House impeachment and Senate trial.

Or a war.

They’ve been pulling for the re-born nazi party since they went after carter, supported Reagan (ignoring the October surprise and Iran contra), gleefully participated in the character assassination of Dukakis, Clinton, Gore, and Kerry.

They have a vested interest in keeping corporations in control

It’s that simple

Yes, you're right. But being right will be cold comfort when you can't get anyone to help or ally with you.

They let him spew lie after lie after lie and NEVER called him on any of them. They covered him like his viewpoints were different but valid instead of the racist, fear mongering bullshit they were. They are totally complicit in this. Not only is a free press necessary but a diligent one whose goal is promoting the truth not higher ratings. They have much to make up for and I'm not seeing much effort on their part at atonement.

They were part of the problem and I don't forget these things. Comey, Facebook's Fuckerberg and Twitter and all social media, Russia, MSM including the NYT, CNN, and even MSNBC, and misogyny (even by women) are all to blame for this current shit show that our country is now living (and dying) in and it will take 20+ years to possibly correct this dangerous period in our history (if that is even possible anymore).

I think they thought if he won he would try to be more presidential with a few twists.

The lost their souls and our lives and liberty for ratings.

The sad thing is I don’t expect them to change that in the future.
