Even if you just look at how unaware voters were of the state of the economy, you see that the media truly failed to inform the country of basic facts. They backed away from presenting the facts, because the facts were strongly in favor of one candidate. The press failed the country.
I don't recall hearing any campaign claims by Trump about the economy that were correct. They were easily refuted with basic economic data. Did any news outlets simply provide those facts, to educate the electorate? Did any news outlets explain that he was altogether incorrect in those claims?
Blame the people, not the media. The people r the ones who get their info from online influencers and hacks. The people r the ones who got infected by group think and voted for the dancing yellow clown. It was the lazy weak minded people
Oh I absolutely blame the people. But the media had a responsibility to hold Trump accountable for his actions and instead they spent months sanewashing him, not factchecking the outrageous lies pouring out of his mouth, and not explaining how damaging his policy proposals would be for Americans.
We should all b much more specific about which outlets and less vague about the problems with “the media”.
I take u at your word and tacitly agree that much of the media fucked up pretty badly this time
I’m so sorry to b so critical, but the kind of rhetoric that goes around paints all of the media with the same broad brush, and that puts the entire fourth estate of democracy in jeopardy
Another reason I avoid all msm. I read the statement and watched the video of her. I couldn’t give two fucks what a couple of loser talking heads have to say about her appearance.
I tend to agree with you plus besides being a woman, she was also a woman of color. Not going to happen in this White House and media are told what they can report on and how much do I knew they were no help to her at all.
The mainstream media is just about worthless these days. It's just an amplifier for trump, it doesn't seem to matter which you are talking about. We used to know we could avoid Fox and be fairly safe. Not any longer. I don't give any of them my clicks for ad money these days.
The media failed America, we need to do better. Donald Trump should be behind bars and not getting ready to be inaugurated in a few months. This isn’t right for our democracy. This is where it goes to die. Journalist need to do better.
Because the media is owed by trump donors of course they won’t say anything bad about him and they wanted this for ratings, the chaos he brings is gold to them
The double standard does not just apply to her appearance. She had to have 10 pt detailed plans to address issues in our country. In 60 days, she came up with a lot of well thought out stuff. While 🍊🤡 had concepts of a plan, tariffs, and deporting 15 million people, none of which are good for US.
We should b more specific when we refer to “the media”, lest we undermine them all, as the righties and fascists would have us do. When the forth estate of democracy falls, the fascists will walk in and take over

It's not a toupee. He once let a talk show host even ruffle his hair for proof.
It was a wierdly charismatic exchange. Probably the only few seconds I saw of Trump where he wasn't vile.
I saw a tired woman, tired from fighting for us, tired of constantly being downplayed, insulted but not stopping to rest.
I saw a heroic woman......One who I will always respect.
I hope she does have a future in Politics.
