How the media tried to string us along about Trump

This article shows just how pathetic our media is:
Was he ever serious? How Trump strung the country along, again

Myself and so many other people knew that Trump's supposed flirtation with a presidential run was bullshit. We talked in various forums about how it was certainly a publicity stunt and there's no way he was going to actually run.

Yet despite how obvious this fact was, the media went on and on about him, breathlessly covering his every utterance as though he were a serious presidential contender. Polling results indicate that many Republicans took him seriously and actually supported his run, but let's put the blame where it belongs. They took him seriously because so much of the media took him seriously, idiotically giving Trump all the attention he wanted and more. Attention, after all, was the whole point.
