Of course the media hates him. Everyone with a healthy mind does and should. Yes, the media is extremely bias against Trump, because it's their god given duty. It would be very sad if it wasn't biased against harmful individuals with power that can do real damage and didn't try everything in their power to take him down.

The media in a democracy is basically the only power the people have. Don't forget, the majority did not vote for him and the majority does not approve of him. Trying to remove a man who got to power by a minority is the most democratic thing you can do.

AHAHAHAHAHA!!!  Oh yes, "the people" would be like a flock of lost sheep without the all-powerful and all-knowing corporate-owned media to guide them through life and tell them how to think at every turn.  Who needs all those constitutinal amendments anyway when we have billion dollar media corporations on our side?!?

Would this by chance be the same "media" who assured us Donald Trump had no shot at the presidency, and who wouldn't give Bernie Sanders the time of day compared to Hillary during the primary campaign either?

It's not about guiding or shaping opinions. It's about amplifying voices. If a man is elected that the majority of the country does not want, voices apparently need more amplifying. Nobody expected Trump to win, not even Trump because nobody knew how far the stupification of the public has progressed. But yeah, without the media highlighting all the stupid shit the president is doing it would be a lot worse.

The media is just as broken as the political system as a whole. It's all about entertainment and the issues don't matter. In that regard politics and the media in the US are the exact same.

But now that the worst event has happened we might as well use something broken to defend against something broken. However disregarding as a whole is very dangerous when the vast majority of news media is perfectly fine. Defaming the media as a whole like a certain president and his supporters do is aching to book buring.
