37. 35+ years of hate radio & now it's evil spawn Fox News have stoked the hatred.

And the MSM has never called it out until recently, & even then they are more concerned about getting ratings from any story than actually exposing or telling the truth. When Palin started her hate filled rhetoric, the MSM should have called her out, & the republican party, too. They should have shamed the GOP into taking her off the ticket, but they were happy for the ratings she created. Now, they have a hate filled fascist who speaks badly of the MSM & possibly even censoring them, & finally they are reporting on him.

In the end, however, it falls on the citizens. All the info about the Con's lack of character, his business failings, his treatment of women, his hiring of immigrants, his not paying his vendors, his suing anyone who spoke badly of him, it was out there for anyone with 15 minutes, an internet connection, & a desire to know the truth, not just what was spoon fed to them by the media.

The media is only as liberal as the conservative corporations that own it. ~bumper sticker philosophy
