Remember "the media" shows what is happening...they don't make it happen.

Investigative reporters investigate and report.

Reporters report.


News readers read the news.


Commentators commentate on the news.


Viewers/Readers take in all of that and must understand where the information came from and then decide what to do with it.

Blaming "the media" for everyth8ng is the mantra at Fox News right now.  

And they have convinced their followers that Fox News is not part of the media.

No.  Because you specifically complained about them lying and saying bad things about Trump.  That is the exact opposite of what Fox News does.

In fact The "blame the media" line comes directly from Fox News.

Well, not exactly the exact opposite. They lie and say GOOD things about Trump.

So? That has no bearing on what I've been saying.
