The failure of the goddamn mortherfucking media to call out the orange shitstain for his lies, and to keep calling out those lies, is what enabled this reeking pustule on the unwashed sphincter of America to become president in the first place. And the second place.

Or was it a failure?

Does the for-profit Fourth Estate operate like other businesses owned by billionaires -- to create quarterly profits for "shareholder value," giving the lie to what Thomas Jefferson said about newspapers being more important than government?
