    Because “the media” isn’t a single entity that is fully aligned on everything.

    Sure, there’s plenty of media outlets that supported trump, but there’s also many that didn’t.

    And I certainly doubt Quitting Carbon Media were pushing for a Trump win.

      Pushing for trump, and softballing his criminality just in case he wins are not too far from each other. Find me one major outlet that didn’t do one of those, and find me more than 2 less common outlets that did as well.

        Fuck you, name me 27 of each that did. What am I, your PA?

        I’ll give you one because that’s all that’s needed to satisfy the constraint “not all”.

        And regardless of that, even if every last one of them got down on their knees and gave him a blowjob, that still doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be critical of him.

          You’ve missed the point. I do think it would be easier to find 27 that did than it would to find another that didn’t. And that’s the point. If we’re also going to talk about the amount of viewers for each, it gets even easier than that.

          There’s no reason to lash out and be a dickhead, by the way. This could have been a conversation.

          Also, you put “not all” in quotes as if you’re not responding to my comment that clearly says 99%. If you’re gonna be an asshole, at least be accurate.
