I genuinely don't understand this. It's not like he didn't know that media can be biased. In fact, he has railed against it incessantly. I would pay good money to hear Trump's argument if someone pointed out that Fox news is the same, except in reverse.

He is a reality TV star first and foremost and must create drama at every opportunity. America apparently decided we like the genre so much that electing one was a good idea
