Trump is a direct result from decades of the corporate media conglomerates propaganda brainwashing.

Image, celebrity, style, the horse race, scandal and superficial fluff has been the order of the day with them, non-stop coverage.

Substantive in depth coverage of the critical issues of the day that can and does mean life and death to millions of Americans is sluffed off during election season as so much dead skin.

To the CMCs which make mega-bucks during campaign season, it's all one big reality T.V. show.

People are worried about the Russians and rightfully so but our own corporate media conglomerates all but created Trump, he's their monster.
