…or anything else except sensationalism, ratings, and dollars.

Don't get me wrong; the vast majority of individuals in our media lean left and prefer Democrats to Republicans. But counting on them to take a stand or be on the left's side (or the side of what's right in general) in a moral crunch is a fantasy. It's like the left has drank the right's Kool-Aid about the media.

The media had more to do with Trump's election than any entity--including the Russians, Hillary's flawed campaign strategy, and Jim Comey.

And this is coming from a very recent ex-Republican.
