I think, just maybe, the worm has turned with the MSM. [View all]

Been watching MSNBC for a couple of hours tonight. It has been 100% unflattering of Trump and of the GOP. And there have been NO Trump talking heads trying to spin anything.
-Russia and the election
-Trump listening to Russia and attacking the US intelligence agencies
-Comey having the Steele dossier since last Summer
-Comey really pissing off the Dems today
-Push back on the GOP attacking the Gov Ethics Director rather than looking at Trump's issues.

Nothing sympathetic to Trump of the GOP. All 'concern' about Trump and the GOP.

I think maybe, just maybe, Trump calling CNN 'fake news' and then taking a question from Breitbart might just have been the straw that broke the camel's back and the mega-corps that own the MSM suddenly realized that they could see their media empire shut down by the Orange Putin-Puppet.
