    We voted those out

    No we didn’t.

    Stop acting like shit is new and just the fault of trump. What we have now is the natural result of things done decades ago.

    It’s just in 87 Reagan said the media could lie, and in 96 Clinton said anyone can buy the media, even other corporations.
