Think about what you just posted, Joey! Why DIDN'T the mainstream media "challenge" Trump when he was running as one of a dozen GOP candidates...yet challenged him daily once he got the nomination and continue to do so now that he's President? I
They didn't challenge him in the primaries because he was good for ratings.
They didn't challenge him before the general election, because they thought there was no chance he'd win, and again, he was good for ratings.
They challenged him after the election, because, OH MY GOD, HOW DID THIS GET SO FUCKED UP?!?!?!?
They wanted Trump to be the Republican challenger because they thought he was the easiest candidate for Hillary Clinton to beat! Russian interference and the Electoral College are just the excuses that they've been pedaling ever since Hillary lost!
Except Hillary won by 3 million votes, so the Russians gaming the Electoral Racist Anachronism isn't an "excuse". The people said "NO", loudly and clearly.
What choice do they have? It's either go with those false narratives...or admit that they tried to influence the election and failed miserably!
I think it's quite the opposite. You had one party that nominated a person EVEN REPUBLICANS knew was unfit for office. But the media had to be fair, so every time Trump got caught bragging about grabbing a woman's *****, they had to recycle 20 year old stories about Bill Clinton being accused of sexual harrassment by some gold digger that was discredited 20 years ago. Every time we found out something about one of Trump's failed business schemes, the media felt obligated to remind us that there was that Email thing that had been explained a long time ago.
