In response to this blanket side-picking, most Americans just decided to tune the media out — because they knew they weren’t honest brokers.

Whenever a news outlet would unveil yet another hit piece on Trump, it would largely fall on deaf ears instead of having an impact on the race.

People just didn’t trust the mass media and chose to ignore them.

A week and change after the election two things are clear — the media has lost their influence over the electorate and it helped Donald Trump.

If they want to get their good name back, and recapture the attention of half of America, there’s only one way to do it — go back to playing it straight.
