It could be, but the reason alludes me.
Yeah, Trump isn't the traditional style of a President. Maybe he is a liar and a rogue who built
his empire on the backs of low-paid workers. Maybe the hotel-owner dabbled in Hollywood and
cast himself as a boasting clown... there's lots of names and memes for what he could be.
But he's at where the buck stops and the mainstream media should hold him accountable for
the things he said he's going to do and acknowledge the things he's done. Good or bad.
But they don't... they ridicule him and look for stories they can attach his name to.
The core problem in the MSM isn't that President Trump is a poor President, it's that the groundwork
that led to his election win is due to the media's lack of countrywide reporting.
Sure, there's local medias that report local news, but the USA seems to be divided into two areas.
You have the east coast, with it governing section. Where gossip and half-truths are printed everyday as
fact, where what some Senator is doing for lunch is far-more important than the realities of what the public
are doing to get-by everyday.
It's bourgeois, it's reporting of a class-level that most of US citizens aren't into. They just want real facts
about decisions that effect them.
Then you have the west coast with it's Hollywood-elitism. A place where cotton-wooled, grandiose liberals
talk of helping 'the lesser' and believe it makes them a better person. The education facilities brainwash
the kids to believe white men are slave-owners and black people are down-trodden... like CNN'S poor Don
Lemon or Zain Asher.
Hollywood berates Trump because he -of all people, should know that when you need your pool cleaning,
the help is just south of that State. Good-grief! who does the President think is going to clean it?!!
These examples are just the tip of the iceberg, the political preferences have an effect on their reporting
and all the time, the bit in the middle of the USA, the fly-over places ignored, watches this tennis match
and decided to do something about it.
The problem with the media isn't Trump, it's the talent within it's own ranks.
They don't want to be Reporters, they want an easy ride.

The only possible answer to the 'mud-stick' idea is that with such a radical change in leadership, the
people who've enjoyed such an easy-going lifestyle came to the conclusion that some-sort of organising
had taken place to accomplish it.
Keeping the same narrative about how Obama was the beacon of diversity justice and reporting on the
kind, benevolent actions of MSM's version of the middle-class (which was really the upper-class!), was not
just simple isolated instances, the narrative was organised.
For years, Journalists sat in the Press Room of the White House, wore a wind-cheater in a hurricane and
showed the public that they were the ones to be trusted. There's no need for green-screens when words
can convince it's readers/viewers that the mainstream media and the echelon that they report on, are the
people who drive America forward.
How many people do you know that gets 25 million dollars a year for simply reading off a teleprompter?!
Then it changed. In one evening, these same wealthy, confident people watched their world turn upside-down.
Collusion must have taken place. The 'Rust-Belt' must've contacted the retired down in Florida, struggling family
-ran businesses in Alabama surely rang farmers in Wisconsin and told them who to vote for.
Surely?
Or... there was a centre-point in all of this, a foreign agency that spun a spider's web across the land and
with a nod of approval from the flaxon-haired candidate who like to bullsh*t in his election bus, this secret
team of Soviet computer nerds convinced a gullible, white, red-necked basket of uneducated deplorables
to vote for Donald J. Trump.
That's the only answer. Without any security in America -even after 9/11, the Ruskies invaded the USA
and told the masses what to think. It must be, it worked for the mainstream media for years!
My only other suggestion is that the same MSM had become so obvious in their banal rhetoric that everyone
north, south, east and west, became tired of the way the country was being ran and decided by using their
societal logic, that enough was enough.
They accuse you of the things they do.
