No"I don't mean fraudulent voting. I'm talking about Trump's claims that "the media" is working for Clinton.
I think it's reasonable to assume that if "the media" has been pulling for Clinton all along, that they've been doing things all along that would help Clinton win.
What "the media" did during the Republican primary was give Trump tons of free air time. Watching "the media" during the primary was like watching a big, long, Trump commercial (that he didn't have to pay a dime for).
Here's the shitty catch-22 for Trump supporters: If "the media" has been trying to help Clinton win all along......step number one of their plan would have been to make sure that Trump secured the Republican nomination. I think it's obvious that if "the media" really wanted Clinton to win, they'd want her facing the weakest candidate possible in the general election. So, their guy being the Republican's nominee to go against Clinton in the general election would have had to be part of the media's plan all along.
It's sort of like saying "THE MEDIA RIGGED THE ELECTION BY HELPING NOMINATE OUR SHITTY CANDIDATE"
