The media's job is not to fawn over the president, actually. They are to report the news and tell the people when the president lies.

Therefore, they are doing a great job.

By the way, the most watched cable news is Fox News. I assume you aren't talking about them?



> The media's job is not to fawn over the president

I wonder if you felt the same way from 2008 to 2016 when they were fawning over the previous president. It's interesting that they do a great job only when a certain political party happens to be in power.

It's easy to be the most watched cable news when every other mainstream channel is carrying water for the opposition party.


Have you ever considered that perhaps reality actually does align more closely with how the media portrays it than the exact opposite?

Just _perhaps_ Republican presidents are worse than Democrat presidents?
