Most of the illustrious press will be falling right in line behind the fascist normalizing him with very little pushback.
Much of the reason we are where we are today is because of the laziness and ineptness of our illustrious media.
The writing was on the wall with their complete lack of accountability in their reporting about the WMDs where they actually went out of their way to push that lie, with very little coverage from inspectors and others contradicting that claim. The press has a lot of blood on their hands.
Instead of investigating the facts when Comey sent the letter to the republicans 11 days before the election, they had no problem reporting that the email investigation was reopened. That was a LIE, and for the next week they proceeded to parade every right wing pundit across their outlets propagating that lie, and late Friday the weekend before the 2016 general election, when comey quietly came out and said there was nothing new to merit the reopening of the email investigation, it was hardly covered after 7 days of non-stop coverage pushing the lie that the email investigation was reopened.
The press in my view will completely capitulate and normalize the sociopath during the next four years.
