I think one thing we must never forget. The media will never ever ever be on our side. They will only be as liberal as the billionaires and multinationals that own them. I think the best example of the craven media is Travelgate - a long-forgotten Clinton "scandal."
The White House travel office was sloppily managed. The director wrote checks to cash. He deposited media payments for travel on AF1 into his own bank account. He commingled personal and travel office money. There was a report from FBI.
So they were fired. The media went on a feeding frenzy defending the man who commingled money. OF course, they did. He was slopping about requiring them to pay for their travel on AFI, so they sometimes got reimbursed by their company & didn't pay travel office. Nice deal
There were stories about perks he gave the media. So they loved him and insisted the firing was in order to steer money to Clinton friends. However, after extensive investigation by Ken Starr, he had to admit the Clintons did nothing wrong.
There was another investigation into whether Hillary lied to the press. After a long, long, long time they issued a report saying she made false statements, but had no way of knowing they were false.
It was nothing but the media attacking a new Democratic president from the get-go, to tell them the media is out to take them down. I believe some of this was not just anti-Democratic party bias, but an elite rejection of a man raised by a single mom, from Arkansas of all places
