scary lawyerguy:
What this campaign has shown is that the unfiltered "Let Trump be Trump" is a toxic stew of bigotry, xenophobia, anti-semitism, misogyny, and racism coupled with promises to use the levers of government to silence dissent, prosecute his foes, and reward his allies. Media shrugs.

There's just never been a campaign like this where literally everything they say is based on lies. And not just like misrepresentations, but up is down/ black is white lies. And it's just completely treated normally by the political media.
Robert Reich calls it 'sanewashing'!
@Bix Mainstream Media is owned by 6 Mega Corporations. They answer to tax breaks/shareholders NOT the public interest. The Fourth Estate ceased to be 'government's watchdog' following the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine. Rinse. Repeat.
@Bix . What did the stain do for 4 years? Besides kill 1 million Americans and kill the economy .
"Once the Trump campaign realized there was nothing he could say that our press wouldn't ignore or smooth over, there was nothing holding them back from an all-lies approach. The refs fell asleep, so one of the teams started carrying knives onto the field for every play."
