And all the GOP/libertarian/independent sheep are bleating it right up. "I'm outraged because the media repeatedly told me to be outraged!". That pretty much sums up where we are today.

Early on in the campaign the media was arguably pro-trump. That - as you can see in some of the wikilinks side of things - probably has a lot to do with the fact that trump was polling the worst against hillary as all the possible nominees, all of the rest whom appeared they were likely to beat her. So they desperately needed Trump nominated. Then they hold all these faux outrage cards until the last moment.

Like I've said before - the winner of this race was already decided years ago. To those that are outraged, I have to ask is your feelings legitimate, or are you in fact, bleating with the sheep. Think about it....
The media was pro-Trump early because it was clear (or they figured) that Trump was the candidate Hillary would have the best chance against. Hell, Podesta's own emails say that and it's clear Hillary's campaign was colluding with the media (or more accurately, vice-versa). The anti-establishment Republicans and independents ate up the pro-Trump rhetoric and pushed him to a primary win just as the Leftists wanted. It's not surprising at all that the media then turned around to beat down on Trump -- raising a bunch of FUD about Trump is the only way Hillary can get elected.
