The danger in attacking the "media"

[kentuck]

is that all media outlets that do not espouse the right-wing line will be the only "ones" that are attacked as "biased and unfair". FOX and Breitbart will escape the attacks. The political propaganda arm wins that battle.

Rather than attack the "mainstream media", we should be attacking those that refuse to report the facts. Do not expect FOX or Breitbart to call Donald Trump on his lies about "largest electoral victory since Ronald Reagan". They tend to ignore "little facts" like that.

Donald Trump's attack on the "media" is meant to divide the people. Divide and conquer is a strategy that he is very familiar with.

Democrats must be very careful not to join this charade. The "media" they attack are those that might disagree with them. Once those conservative media channels receive credibility and everyone else is denounced as "un-American" and "Democrat propaganda", we are on the losing end of the battle.
