6. We're at that point now where, if the media is saying something, it can't be true.

They are the ones who created this mess in the first place. They gave Trump a 24-7 political campaign in a package every single day since he left the White House. They're about money and ratings, he's about money and ratings, a marriage made in heaven. They got what they wanted, and now they're pushing the "we were right all the time" narrative.

This is an even bigger crock of baloney.

As always, Democrats lost control of the narrative. And now the mainstream media is going to tell us what we need to do?

Come on, people, get real.
