The guardian reports on a sobering event in Washington DC.
US police have arrested a man wielding an assault rifle who entered a pizza restaurant that was the target of fake news reports it was operating a child abuse ring led by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her top campaign aide.
[...] The suspect entered the restaurant and pointed a gun at a restaurant employee, who fled and notified authorities, police said. The man then discharged the weapon inside the restaurant. There were no injuries.
[...] [Police] said the suspect during an interview with investigators revealed that he came to the establishment to "self-investigate" Pizzagate, the police statement said. Pizzagate is a baseless conspiracy, which falsely claims Clinton and her campaign chief John Podesta were running a child sex ring from the restaurant's backrooms.

Well, whose fault was that? I forget what the exact ultimate multiple was, but Hillary outspent Trump by scads. Google's results are all over the map, but it's at least double. So the result she got is after at least doubling his expenditures on advertising. Trump knew how to play the media and Hillary had to pay people great big piles of money to loathe her a little less.
Washington DC delenda est.

The media's, of course. They shouldn't have been played: Fool me once - shame on you. Fool me twice - shame on me.
My point is that they were being played by both Trump and Clinton to cover more of Trump's antics. So, no surprise, they covered more of Trump's antics, because they lacked the integrity to choose to do anything different.
