That's the "A block" section in the newscast. The stories of underdogs, redemption and overall feel good stories come at the end of the news cast while the credits are rolling.

The media wouldn't need to be "Liberal", it would just need to be doing it's fucking job.,

....between Trump and the Clintons. It isn't. They pretty much ignore his provocations.

When Hillary laughs that her New Year's resolution is to let Trump inhabit his own "alternate reality," that somehow doesn't really say "feud" -- it says she's the adult and he's the poo-flinging ape.
