"The Liberal Media" is their scapegoat to avoid facts.

Every time I see a bumper sticker or a post or some dumbass say, "I don't believe the Liberal Media!"

I ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS.

So next time you hear or read someone say something about the "liberal" media, just tell them this...

"If there really was a liberal media, then Bernie Sanders wouldn't have been the most ignored candidate of the race. Bernie Sanders was as liberal as you could get. Therefore, it makes sense that he would be hoisted up right? But no. The media covered Trump the most because of the spectacle and kept Hillary in second for just the same reason. Supposed scandals and spectacle abound.

The media is not liberal OR conservative you idiots. It's poised to just keep us clicking and watching the atrocious spectacle of it all. The media doesn't favor what's best for us, it favors what keeps the most eyes glued to the screen. The media wants our money, not liberal values. So shut the fuck up with this "liberal media" bullshit.
"

Feel free to cut and paste and share. Their scapegoat needs to die. There is no media picking sides other than that right wing propaganda.
