21. Media is to blame

I have always felt that the media is responsible for DJT. It didn't matter what DJT said even if it was lies or vindictive the press reported it as the truth. They could care less if it destroys our country and our democracy, they are desperate for any kind of news and never check if it is the complete truth and if they find out it is not truth, the press will never admit it and release an apology.
