8. Here's what I don't understand

Oct 2017

I spent 16 some odd years in the NY media market. I remember a lot more exposure of The Donald for his warts and being the butt of many jokes. Most everyone on a jobsite was reading the tabloid rag at lunch. There was always some salacious coverage of that tool for one thing or another.

I don't think that anyone missed that he was a thin-skinned, vindictive, self centered asshole.

Why FFS did no major media outlet during any part of the primary or general election not really expose what was already known? Of course this is a question who's answer is obvious. It's all about the Benjamin's.
