The reason the Liberally Biased Mainstream Media™ has normalized Drumpf is because the owners and decision makers of all these media outlets are just as greedy and narcissistic as Drumpf. From eyeballs for their advertisers, to the tax cuts they've received from him and the GOP, these so-called gatekeepers have decided Drumpf is good business for them. Personally and professionally, despite all the threats this usurper president has hurled at the journalists covering him. This is what former CBS president and leaver of toxic slime Leslie Moonves told a group of shareholders in a private meeting in the winter of 2016. Conflict sells for them. And Drumpf provides endless conflict.
This is why NBC can replace a turd hack like David Gregory with another turd hack like Chuck Todd as host of Meet The Press, instead of someone who can hold the feat of any Republican stooge to the fire.
And this is why the Liberally Biased Mainstream Media™ can normalize Drumpf's many serious crimes, in and out of the White House, while Hillary Clinton's nothingburger about her email server is considered A MILLION, BILLION, TRILLION, CAZILLION TIMES FAR, FAR WORSE THAN WATERGATE!!!!!
Until the attitudes of these hack institutions radically changes for the better, we are stuck with this glorified dog and pony show, ad nauseum. And I'm not holding out hope they will.
A big part of this has to do with his bullying. While it's hard as adults to admit that it could still have such a strong impact, everyone from the press to the politicians is cowered by it. Surely there is also a strong "both sides" journalistic bias, but on a subconscious level anxiety is a major part of the issue. And unfortunately he knows it, as a good sociopath would.
That he is a mentally handicapped person needs to be reiterated endlessly. In that way the anxiety can be replaced with understanding.
