Me neither.

Media gave him tons of free publicity and let him get away with near constant lying.

The media has figured out they need to control social media. So it depends on whether or not they're able to gain control of social media speech to prevent speech they don't like or not.

Let them do that. Twitter's stock was tanking last I checked.

If nobody's around to listen...

I don't know if it'll be more left wing as much as more animosity. Much more.

You know that any negative article will be met with angry tweets by Trump. I wouldn't be surprised if he outright bans certain "journalists" (its mostly opinion now, real journalism is dead) from White House briefings. He'll probably ban all press at certain events (didn't he do this already?).

The media will fire back in anger, Trump's twitter feed goes nuts and there you have it. The most contentious president/media relationship is decades. And I'm ok with that. The media has been too arrogant so they're about to get some of their own medicine. Plus some snowflake meltdowns on air will be pretty entertaining.

Btw I voted for Trump (more like voted against Hillary) but be realistic. If Alec Baldwin can get him going what do you think constant negative press will do?

And the media lets Democrats get away with lying, half-truths, distortions, etc...too.

The November 8th vote sent several messages and one was to
the Left sided media

And so far it's beyond them to even figure this out
