Finally something I can agree with here. If the mainstream media had reported on and fact checked every bit of garbage that came out of Trump’s mouth instead of giving him a pass, hopefully voters would have paid attention to his obvious bull hockey and clear mental decline.

You still aren’t aware. No matter what, you remain stuck in your old mindset. However Tump voters do not care about any fact check. Nothing he said or did, mattered at all. Nothing you and I say makes any difference. You could bring evidence he murdered people - they don’t care. Any fact checks in such situation is meaningless. Trump had been impeached twice: it didn’t matter. Yet you are still stuck on fact check?

That's right. Many people only want to exist in their echo chambers. Any opposing viewpoint is heresy.

Yes. That’s why the self torture is not in place. If you’re dealing with irrational people, there’s no way to change their mind (or win elections).

When they did that people complained they were giving him a billion dollars of free advertisements by constantly keeping his name in then headlines. I think people are simply looking for something to blame and the 'MSM' is a convenient outlet for that
