3. They certainly are responsible for DT's election!

I strongly believe that the lame-stream corporate media are largely responsible for Donald Trump’s election. I particularly blame the broadcast media. Their news coverage of candidate was disgracefully bad, shallow and superficial, they failed to dig in and investigate candidate Trump, his behavior, his dealings, his history, and his political views, instead focusing on the Trump Dog-and-pony show. They spent most of their time focused on Donnie, parroted the bogus Benghazi and e-mail investigations, instead of digging into the other candidate.

If you wanted the goods on Donnie, you had to go elsewhere; not only Faux but the other four networks did a p***-poor job of coverage

With the exception of Rachel Maddow and a couple of other exceptions, the broadcast media fell over themselves to be nice to Donnie. Their behavior was a disgraceful (f word) betrayal of the public trust. I have not forgotten and I strongly they still ought to be held accountable.
