So many in the media seem to be shell shocked, pained, frusrated by what's happening

with the children at the border

I wonder how much of that is guilt for their role in bringing trump to power.

Coverage that ranged from trying to create a false equivalency between trump and Hillary, to their non-stop coverage of trump without really questioning him.

The MSM is as much to blame as Putin, Comey, Assange and others I won't mention for this nightmare.

Now they are covering the results, and the most helpless innocent and vulnerable are paying the price.

And they know there is NO kind of apology that will be sufficient.
It's hard to have a lot of sympathy when the quote was:

It's terrible for America...but it's GREAT for CBS.
