Recently I got into yet another discussion

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

about the way the press goes about its business. Someone posted (on Facebook) about how the returning caskets from N. Korea was only being covered by those loyal patriots at Fox . Any how in the course of discussion I realized that those supporters of his that parrot the 'fake news' line seem unaware that before the election he was the beneficiary of massive media coverage, which served him. Now that he is being held accountable, the press is an enemy of the people. When I pointed this out, they suddenly had nothing to say. I believe the press is complicit in this whole mess but still, 45's base can't, or won't, discern this difference.
