none of it, and you know it. i will concede that the media and his enemies have exacerbated his and the administration's behavior, but they are not the cause.

> and you know it. This is an heavy statement... Just to clarify, my comment was mostly independent of whether trump deserves or not that opinion. I am not a US citizen and my country had it own complex story with weird politicians. I have no intention to invalidate your criticism. My comment was specifically a criticism of the media (if you want to know in which direction my bias is, I can tell you that I often listen to Tim Pool; even if in the last year he got worse in my opinion). Bringing example is hard, as they will never be comprehensive, but for example the different attention received by Kavanaugh's and Biden's accusers is telling, or how Biden's twitter account published a doctored video of Trump calling COVID-19 an hoax (a whole minute was removed before "this is their new hoax") and twitter did nothing, but then removed the same concept from Trump campaign. I am not trying to start a flame war, nor I am trying to promote any side, but my heartfelt opinion I can give you is that if you dislike Trump then it might be appropriate to consider the media not as an ally, as their (maybe justifiable, but still undeniable) bias is just giving Trump an inexhaustible source of ammo. To reiterate I do not have any particular opinion on Trump himself (I honestly do no care too much about him), but I am appalled at the low quality job of the media in this regard. If Trump is as bad as you make him to be then even more this is a failing of journalism.
