most people don't buy reputable newspapers. They buy the shit that's displayed at the checkout counter in supermarkets.

The NY Times, the Washington Post, and many other newspapers around the country have time and again attacked White House bullshit. It doesn't matter. Newspapers are old news. Today's world view is controlled by Twitter, Facebook, etc. Anyone can post anything and who knows how many tens of thousands (millions?) believe it.

Reality has become whatever people read on laptops, i phones, and ... well, take your pick.

I truly believe that when George Orwell wrote "1984," he had somehow gotten a peek at the future.

Don't blame "the media." Blame the collective ignorance of too much of the American public.
