Why is our media just covering the stories that 45 wants covered and not the stories voters need

3. the only story for the past two years has been TRUMP.

Stop and think about it. CNN, MSNBC, and Foxx all try to get ahead of each other. That's how he got elected. This is how each hour always started: "Good afternoon. It's 4 o'clock in the east. I'm So and so Reporter and here is our top story: DONALD TRUMP today blah blah blah....

5. The vast majority of the media relies on the people in power to act/speak in order to be news.

The days are long gone where almost everyone in the media was an investigative reporter who dug up news instead of waiting for it to be handed to them.

It explains why the media parrots the administration’s talking parts. It also explains why nobody except specialized experts can report on most subjects in our highly complex and technological society. This is why so many people don’t understand climate change, global economic markets and forces, health care policies, tax reform, etc.
