The election was influenced by fake media alright, but the victory in
the U.S. elections is *despite* the fake media, not because of it.

Fake media — CNN, WaPo, The Times., all that brainwashing nonsense — 
was basically against the winner.  He won nonetheless.

*shruggie*

I don't have to live with that result, but it's the truth.
