....Forget who you support or don't support. One thing that has CLEARLY been exposed in this election is the pure corruption in our major news media outlets. All Americans need to start a grass routes effort to completely boycott them. I will not even allow my television to scan over their channels ever again. They have became nothing more then a wing of the government spreading mass propaganda with a pure agenda to attempt to make us think exactly how they want and need us to think. It's completely out of control. I hope one by one their ratings fall so low they are forced out of business. We now have social media everywhere and we can obtain our news via free flowing sources. And not the state sponsored corrupt entities our news media has become.

So now you don't even trust your own conservative media because at times they have the audacity to pretend to be fair?

Are you going to only consult with yourself like Trump does?

Are you going to get your news from radical far right wing delusional blogs?

The media is corrupted by $$, that's for sure. You can see that by the way they handed the Trump campaign legitimacy, because that brought in enormous viewership to watch his daily antics. Trump has manipulated the media like a puppet master. The "MSM" is the ONLY reason Donald Trump ever had a ghost of a chance in becoming President of the USA. I've noticed in the waning days of the campaign how quiet the Radical Right has gotten about the "MSM", its sort of amusing.

Welcome to the club OP. Our media is less trustworthy than Russia and North Korea and is really just a propaganda arm of the Democrats....I trust no one in the media, in fact if they say it, I assume the opposite is the case.

I didn't even know what MSM was until I started reading posts here a few weeks ago. I always thought it stood for men who have sex with men.

it's funny how people say the media is only liberal, and you are correct, without the media Donald Trump would have not even gotten he Republican nomination.

Trump has only one person to blame for the negative media about himself......Donald Trump,

North Korea doesn't have free media, and I'm sure Putin controls a lot of the Russian media since he's a dictator thief.

We have freedom of the press in the US. It you don't like it move to one of those other countries.

Most of the Media in this Election cycle is clearly OWNED by Hillary and her cronies.
Just recently they have started giving Trump some positive airtime.

The only legitimate word I use with the media is biased. Depending on what you are watching, listening to, or reading, there seems to always be a slant to it (obviously left or right).

The corruption that exists in media is no different than any other business, fed by dollars, and driven by the public's taste for blood, regardless of the rhetoric of wanting down the middle opinions. The media is out to make money, and either you chose to watch or not, and the networks/stations get their advertising dollars and make profit.
