Not going into politics on this site, limiting it to media coverage.

Frankly with the amount of slander he had going in his favor he could rightfully be called a victor of the election--if and only if he got more than 60%. The ballots were I think--not sure as time goes on, but I think--correct, but the slander was absurd.

To the point the media had many bad weeks trying to figure out what to talk about because Trump was no longer president, meaning they couldn't make 4 out of the 5 biggest daily headlines about him in varying levels of directness. Him, his past, his family, his nepotists, his administration, his legacy, his apocalyptic nuclear monarchy, his impeachment, his craziness, his uh coup I think they called it, literally ad nauseam.

Couldn't read the news, it was literally "ad nauseam", to the point of total disgust, and even then I bought into the bullshit to some degree. It was so copious, so much shit, you can't keep your mind clean of all that shit any more than you can keep your shoes clean if you're surrounded by dog feces like a foot of snow. Better to do what Thomas Jefferson said and not read any news at all, ever. It's back to the point it was in in the Spanish-American War, yellow journalism, shitty rags full of slander. Not even that, that would be better than this, just blogs manipulating every reader individually, visible A/B testing in eg Financial Times ("Larger" vs. "bigger", they let me see both versions of the same headline, incompetence), generated news...

Yellow bits. Yellow ones and yellow zeroes. Gray Lady? Not in the least, not gray at all. Haven't read what she says in many years, just too gross.

And guess what? If you refuse to let them in to your mind, in a way they stop existing. It's weird, it's a quantum-mechanical thing, just stop reading and they sort of just die. It's like applause in a theater, one person stops clapping and then there's four more clappings, that's it, dies very rapidly.
