Media Corruption Admitted After Trump Asked Real Questions

Around 4:20 in this video on the Jimmy Dore show, this reporter from M$NBC admits that they don't ask the tougher questions of the candidates because they need to have an ongoing relationship with them. It's nauseating. I know it's not JUST M$NBC but to actually admit that "yeah, we don't do real journalism" makes my head spin.

Chuck Todd Defends Not Challenging Republican Lies On Meet The Press
By: Jason Easley

Chuck Todd explained that the mainstream media has sold out facts for access. Todd said that he allows guests to lie on Meet The Press, because if he didn’t, politicians (Republicans) would refuse to be on his show.
