“Why didn’t the media didn’t tell us that Donald Trump was a bad man?”
"We didn’t know that. The media are so fucking evil"
I can’t take it anymore.

You weren’t worried when he said “Haitians in Ohio are eating dogs, cats” despite NO EVIDENCE that they did any of that ?
You weren’t worried when he said Jews would be to blame if he lost ?
You weren’t worried when he told a campaign rally that Arnold Palmer had a HUUUGE penis ?
80% of the media organizations did their job seriously.
I blame the voters.
First of all, yes, absolutely: it was blatantly obvious to anyone paying attention and who had even a modicum of critical thinking skills and sense of history, just from the direct quotes and clips of Trump himself.
However, a lot of people don’t have those things, and the media did a fuck-ton of horse-race reporting, sanewashing, and hypernormalization in between those quotes and clips, so it is absolutely culpable for what happened as well.
