and called out Bannon.
But the media (and even pundits) helped profusely to "amplify" the CT and disinformation and when this sort of thing was going on during Obama's 2 terms, he couldn't get a word in edgewise without them refusing to say what the GOP was doing were "lies" and "conspiracy". They promoted the birther nonsense hassling the Hawai'i State Department of Public Health looking for a fucking "long form" birth certificate.
As long as they kept up with the "both sides do it", they believe they can get more eyeballs, ears, clicks, and views and thus higher ratings.
