Then there is the media. It is in the best interest for FOX and CNN to keep the political temperature hot. It is their money making business plan and they have no problem distorting the truth to fulfill their agenda. Trump said a lot of dumb things but he was right about the MSM. They are not your friend.

That's because who yells the loudest gets the most attention. As for the media it's been a political tool in America since the days of newspapers and broadsheets. Of course the rise in political bias in the media has been going on since the 1940's (probably even earlier then that) and has only gotten worse in recent decades in particular since the Vietnam War. It's also more notable that whenever a media outlet talks about a news story they will always have pundits or "political experts" who are asked to voice their opinion. It is these opinions and not the story itself that get people talking.
