Still today CNN and all the others are rehashing how social media i.e. Facebook were part of the mess.
Talking about FB and Russians buying ads on FB, etc etc.
WELL.... I seen those ads and the thing was if you liked Hilary you either ignored those ads because you knew is was all BS, or if you did not like Hilary you clicked on the ads and enjoyed the Hilary bashing even though you too knew they were all BS.
IT WAS NOT RUSSIA!
It might have been but it wasn't.
It was the celebrity of a moron like Donald Trump.
It was CNN and MSNBC, their every word their every story, their every focus was on Trump.
Like with Howard Stern, many people hate Howard but they listen because they want to see what outrageous nonsense Howard say next.
No one can deny that every time Trump spoke in a rally during that election, CNN dropped everything to live cover the event. And should CNN grow tired of that """breaking-news""", one could always tune over to MSNBC to continue their viewing.
The media LOVED TRUMP because it meant ratings. BIG RATINGS.
It was like sitting in a bar and watching some outrageous drunk make an ass of him or her self.
THAT gets attention, and so did the nonsense of Donald Trump, and this is what caused Hilary to lose.
Had democrats been with it they would have counter offered with their own version of Donald Trump.
Oprah, or maybe George Cloney. Pee Wee Herman. I'd vote for Pee Wee.
This was a weird election, people were in a weird mood, and politicians in general were thought to be the problem not the cure.
The perfect storm for a win by Donald Trump.
And Trump knew this all along. He knew he could win because people are idiots. He knew that.
Forget Russia and FB ads, what I'd like to know and have investigated is exactly why CNN and MSNBC gave Donald Trump 24/7 news coverage?
Why did CNN and MSNBC with their audience mostly made of liberals, why did CNN and MSNBC drop everything to live coverage Trump night after night?
And now.... CNN and all the others a just turn away and refuse to accept their role in the creation of Donald Trump.
Hilary was not exciting. Bernie was not exciting per se. But Donald Trump?
He was a celebrity A really rich old fart. Your drunken grandfather at Thanksgiving dinner.
The drunken grandfather that tells everyone around the table just what he thinks of them.
And it isn't pretty.
It isn't pretty but... everyone will enjoy the drama, the fun, enjoy the Hunger Games.
We all watched as Trump knocked off challenger after challenger during the debates.
Remember that?
Was that Russia? I don't think so.
People thought Jeb had it in the bag, and Trump destroyed Jeb with a single word.
People thought Cruz had it in the bag. Nope! Destroyed!
And then thought Christy, or little Rubio, even Kasich at one point, etc etc etc and etc down the line.
One by one all destroyed with childish school yard behavior, and the Donald tweets.
Oh those tweets....
CNN LOVED IT. MSNBC loved it. Everyone loved it. We all loved watching the Chaos.
And watching it live when ever possible.
Donald Trump, love him or hate him, became a God.
Russia did not do that, CNN did.
Is it any wonder after destroying every republican challenger by his childish behavior, is it any wonder that Donald would not then go on to destroy a light foot like Hilary Clinton? Destroy grandma?
Really? Was that surprising? To anyone?
Sure, Russia tried to influence that election but their attempt went nowhere.
What elevated Donald Trump into the presidency was the media. Mostly the liberal media fact be told.
CNN and MSNBC were responsible for this just as much as Fox News or Rush Limbaugh.
Politics has forever changed. People no longer take it serious.
After GW Bush, people think that anyone can do this presidential thing.
So why not elect the craziest guy (or woman) on the stage then sit back and enjoy the chaos.
