Most of US media, both traditional and social, is critical of our government nearly every day right now. The government's clearly not in control of the barrage of information we face everyday. Some have argued that people in the US are brainwashed by the media, but that theory can't explain how Trump won.

Well the real power is not in the POTUS in the US. So the presidential election are a good way to divert attention and focus blame while bigger entities do their job.

  Then where is the real power in the government?

    Partially in the administration, partially in big entities like the CIA/NSA, companies. But behind those is a handful of very wealthy people. And they never make the news.
