One more point on the subject of MSM bias, this time their performance going forward. One of the roles of the media is government watchdog. That's legit. Typically it's business as usual until and unless they discover something hinky, which they would investigate and report. So far, so good. The thing about Trump is that he is not cut from the same mold as other presidents. This makes so much of what he does unusual. Before Trump, anything unusual was hinky and a potential scandal. So how are they to differentiate between what is merely unusual and what is scandalous. Something unusual could be merely different, quite harmless. After all, he was elected in part to do things differently. Or it could be the tip of a scandal. Before Trump (BT), they could sense when something was off base. Now the calibration on their sensors is off. They may learn to re-calibrate, but in the meantime they're looking into everything unusual because they can't yet differentiate. In which case it would look like they're piling on when they are just doing their jobs with a calibrator anomaly. But they can't ignore unusual things because then they couldn't do their watchdog job.
