The media was already all-in against Trump. Even Fox News. They blew all their reputation and ammunition trying to stop him. They failed. It says that the more they oppose him, the stronger they make him. Watch. They will cozy up to him, and issue endless mea culpas. Anything else spells total irrelevance for them.
Washington DC delenda est.

That was by design. https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/796222841612042240 [twitter.com]
Basically the press created this monster. As commanded to do by their buddies at the DNC. Then are collectively flipping their shit when they got what they wanted. They were perfectly cool with the Clintons usurping control of the DNC. Now they have a big problem.
These are not good people. Everything they do is a scheme to either make money or peddle influence or fuck someone (literally and figuratively).
