As a Trumpian I admit this is dopey, but for one tiny sliver. The media bear no responsibility or ultimate consequence for anything they say save “malice aforethought” and total immunity for what they do to those “in the public eye”. In a real free market so be it. But in a litigious society they shouldn’t have such a loose standard. Covering culture and current events doesn’t extend to lying about them.
I believe that the media, at large, has abdicated any shred of credibility. Sites like Free Republic, people like Rush, have blown their cover on this. I do not buy a single syllable of what the MSM says out of hand. Trump shouldn’t waste his time. The media has done so many hit pieces on conservatives, they don’t even raise eyebrows any more. That and the fact that Hillary is allowed to skate by is all the evidence you need.
