24/7 news cycle created Trump and just might elect him
All thinking members of the media from the executive producers, line producers, writers, editors, anchors, reporters, on down know that Trump is supremely unqualified to be Prez.
But, if they just flat out said this, what more would be needed to say.
So, they can't and/or won't say this.
Why?
Because every day they have to keep feeding the 24 hour, seven days a week news cycle beast with new material. So, keep finding more stories on him whether they be pro or con. But, never say any of the awful things he's done or says be considered disqualifying.
And, as a result, just keep giving him constant free air time negating the need for him to buy much air time.
Yes, they created him and allowed him to win the nomination.
Now, they might do the once previously thought unthinkable and give him the most important job in the world.
They will continue to go with the "false equivalency" narrative of two EQUALLY bad choices.
Even though they know that, even on her worst day or even with her worst fault, trait, or errors that she is eminently more qualified and suited by every metric for the job.
But, their biggest and most important goal is a tight race. That's all that matters
They hope the false equivalency way to cover it will give them their close horse race and keep readers, listeners, and viewers with them all the way thru election night when the polls close on the west coast.
And, if Trump wins, I would bet that eventually many of them will privately weep when they are home alone and realize the role that they played in allowing the greatest con job ever perpetuated on the American people. Hopefully, they won't be crying while watching a mushroom cloud heading to take us all down with them.
