The MSM Will Help Trump With Billions Of Free Advertising To Get Him In WH.

The MSM will go out of its way to help Trump and snipe at Hillary or Sanders so he can win the election. I am afraid we have only seen the beginning of the "crowning" of Trump by the media. The primary coverage is only the appetizer. Somehow the media must be challenged for its corruption and malfeasance.

funny thing is, in a just world Trump's coverage would bury him, but his minions love how boorish, confrontational, and generally asshole-ish he is. When I listen to him, I pretty much hear the typical internet bully, protected somehow behind anonymity of the screen and 'allowed' to say anything he likes. He offers neither facts nor proofs of anything he says, just the whole "I can get things done" schtick.

In a ratings driven world, Trump and assholes like him are naturals.

That appears to me just fine for his supporters he comes close to being able to his proverbial "shoot someone on the street and it is Ok with his true believers". Maybe he will shake up Rmoney's 47 percent. Dip shittery is here to stay.

He had all the chances needed to restore the Fairness Doctrine, making it fully applicable to the Media Monopoly's cable and online interests.

Would have been the best thing to happend to Democracy in a long time.
