18. The media know they're hugely responsible for making the shameless monstrosity called tRump.

I think they've been more critical of him in the last year and now feel that the public should be more supportive of them in light of the mis-administration's efforts to brand them as purveyors of phony information.

That said, I think Wolf was hard-hitting, but it certainly wasn't unfair or without merit. They deserve to be ripped for their non-stop coverage of this idiot during the run-up to the nomination and election. Wolf isn't the only stand-up comedy person dishing up scathing criticisms of them. Bill Mahr is, by far, much more biting and profane. They are partly at fault for allowing this cretin to have equal footing with the other candidates, but the public has supported this dolt far longer by watching his worthless so-called *realilty* shows. Without eyeballs on their televisions, tRump wouldn't have made it out of Manhattan.
