The only enemy of the people is Trump!

Journalism is dead. Independent journalism has been replaced by media outlets that at their best prefer to tell you what to think instead of delivering the pure facts and letting you come to your own conclusions. And more often than not, end up devolving into an endless 24/7 running commentary of mind-numbing bullshit designed to give you the illusion of being informed whilst keeping you painfully ignorant of what is really going on. For just one example: MSNBC ran, no shit, four hundred and forty five Stormy Daniels segments this year, and precisely zero segments on U.S military actions in Yemen. Trump is only wrong in saying that "the liberal media" is the problem rather than our media as a whole. Fox News, The Blaze, and other conservative outlets conveniently left out of criticisms against mainstream media are just as guilty of this. Think about the "war on christmas" segments peddled by Fox News every year like clockwork. Or during the Obama years when Obama saluting with something in hand was worthy of two weeks constant media coverage. Putting pressure on journalists to be, well, actual fucking journalists, is not unpatriotic or authoritarian or dictatorial, but arguably patriotism of the highest form. We cannot possibly move forward as a country and make this a better place to live when voters are being force-fed this complete dribble we call "news" every morning.
