12. I share your outrage but think you have it backwards

I think this was driven not by the media, but by back-channel collusion between the media, the DNC, and the HRC campaign, with the originators being those allied with Hillary, pushing this to their media surrogates.

We should have an independent media, but we no longer do. I got an education while reading up on all the back-channel emails between people like Mark Halperin and Jonathan Capehart and the Clinton supporter who pushed the (untrue) story that the protest photo of Bernie in the 60's was not Bernie.

These things are often driven by campaigns and their surrogates, not media creations. It's fair to blame the media for being propagandists for the approved campaigns rather than for being independent, but the Nevada caucus lies were no doubt catapulted by Hillary's people.
