Media needs to refocus
I have read and heard numerous reports from the “main stream media” about how divided our country is. What I haven’t read is how they have helped foster these feelings. The vast majority of print, television, and internet reporting was all in for Hillary Clinton. It seemed to me that anything negative about Mr. Trump, substantiated or not, was a front-page story. Anything negative about Mrs. Clinton was delegated to the back page or just ignored.
There has been a lot of negative venting by most news outlets since Mr. Trump’s election. Hopefully after a reasonable length of time they will revert to more serious and non-bias reporting? If they don’t, the next four years are going to be pure hell for the American people, and we will be even more divided.
