To continue on the theme of cultural decay: Remember NBC polished up Donald Trump. And Oprah's failure to recognize quackery gave us Dr. Oz. Greed is not good.

Endorsed two days before the election. Too little, too late

Oprah also gave us Doctor Phil. She's not very good about picking her people.

And the тАЬliberalтАЭ NYT was brutal on HillaryтАЩs campaign; they thought it was an affordable response to тАЬfake newsтАЭ accusations because Hillary was going to win. Simultaneously they spilled a lot of ink on the amusing clown Trump.

The right really gets the best of both worlds. They can write off anything negative anyone says about them as "liberal bias" and still get the news to trash Democrats in order to appear non-partisan.

Definitely. And the тАЬmainstream mediaтАЭ is still falling into the trap. Both-sides still seems to be the default. Although IтАЩve noticed free-wheeling use of the word тАЬliesтАЭ instead of euphemisms, like тАЬuntruthsтАЭ, or тАЬnon-factualтАЭ.
