You think the media getting "suckered" will change anything?


I don't.

They'll keep covering this animal like they always have. Fake outrage to cover their tracks and then back to the false equivalency.

THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE PAID TO DO.

When they in unison DESTROYED (unprecedented) ALL film footage of Trump's hotel infomercial and physically restrained the pool reporter, that was the line for them!
YES!

The M$M is furious with Trump. They have destroyed the footage Trump hoped would net him millions in free advertising. I just watched the entire Congressional Black Caucus presser start to finish on both CNN and M$NBC. Luke Russert as much as called Donald Trump a "Mother Fucker" on Twitter. And CNN's on-air talent has been downright aggressive and nasty with the Trump surrogates trying to explain away his years of racist birther bullshit - they just ain't buying it.

Tomorrow may be different but today is a bad day to be Donald Trump.
