Conservatives never stop crying about the media,

Media criticism is a reinforced behavioral response of the right, the right in America is well trained, you gotta give big money credit for creating these Pavlovian people. Say certain words and the right knows exactly what you mean. Thought is absent in a conditioned brain. I'm not sure how one changes that, the New York Times today had a piece on women who voted for Trump and quickly you see the power of agitprop on people who otherwise may be sensible people. WikiLeaks and conservative think tanks along with help from Russian hackers created ideas that fit into a preexisting image of Hillary, an image made over twenty five years. I want to read the book by Zaitchik below even though I have probably heard it all before. For the thinker other books too.

"Dark Money: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right" Jane Mayer
'Invisible Hands: The Businessmen's Crusade Against the New Deal' Kim Phillips-Fein
"Strangers in Their Own Land - Anger and Mourning on the American Right" Arlie Russell Hochschild

'The Plot to Hack America: How Putin’s Cyberspies and WikiLeaks Tried to Steal the 2016 Election' by Malcolm Nance

"One of the hardest parts in this election cycle has been separating the human media parasite that is Donald Trump from some of his more humble supporters." reviewer comment - 'The Gilded Rage: A Wild Ride Through Donald Trump's America' by Alexander Zaitchik

The conservative voice is not the problem. The problem is the fact free era of the uneducated rural yokel, its mishmash tapestry of prejudices, distrust of democracy, hate for equality, distrust of science, books, knowledge, ands its hijacking of the former Conservative party. You prarie cattle would rather elect the a classless, add, loathesome fake billionaire gameshow host narcissist than the likes of statesmen Jeb bush or say Marco Rubio. Billy Carter over jimmy Carter. Pt Barnum over William f Buckley. You elected a huckster, a suede shoe salesman, a clown, an incompetent, a fraud, and one with skeletons. He already shuts down dissent in the media, staffs his confidants with conspiracy theorists and climate change deniers, housing and urban development headed by a man yiu wants the agency eliminated. His kids running his business. You will forgive him of anything and everything. You don't care.

He will be impeached and removed from office.

Yet you'll tell us the status quo in education is fine.

which they have to since their melodramatic view of the world has to have a scapegoat and Obama/Clinton aren't available any longer, but, keep in mind, it was the same conservatives back in the Reagan years that purposely killed the Fairness Doctrine in the media which had been around since the 1920's and guaranteed equal coverage.

Ironic how they so quickly forget, rather ignore, their past erroneous crusades that haunt them today.
