    How does one demonize a demon? It was seriously maddening all those years. NBC tried to help him whitewash his reputation.

    Honestly, I’m both surprised and saddened to see how much the media is still holding back against him at this point. NBC and attached executives have a treasure trove of bigoted, sexist, racist things he said in the course of his whitewashing. But won’t release it. And this is the co-parent of one of the biggest center right media companies in the United States. MSNBC who’s still criticized Trump plenty. But they’re only still scratching the surface of just how evil and petty the man truly is. But as you say, it’s completely in character for the man to have said such things.

      You must see the clear irony of asking that question.

      My biggest pet peeve is the biased reporting done by mainstream. They’re potentially the direct most cause of polarization in america. We really don’t need polarization right now.

        Oh, the question was most assuredly sarcastic. And while I do blame the media for a lot of the polarization. Factually reporting on Trump isn’t polarization. It’s the last ditch too late effort to stop the coming fascism. That they helped set up.

        The polarization was them turning absolutely everything into an exhausting horse race. While at the same time. Absolutely failing to report properly and objectively about a million other different things over the last 50 to 60 years. Leading to a slow, rightward drift as they enabled their pay masters.
