re: #191 lawhawk

Everything about Trump was awful, and the media normalized all of it. The media normalized criminal misconduct and we are still being failed by the media that equates scandals for “balance”.

Trump provided them a 24/7 political-scandal-crime-sex-reality show. He was ratings gold from his morning rage tweets to his absurd rallies and his posing and posturing on official trips, etc…

Wrecking American democracy was a small price for them to guarantee such an ongoing ratings bonanza.
