Who watches the media anymore though? Thats the thing I don't understand. We give them all this attention when as a group even with fox included they only reach about 5% of the nation.

I agree but for the enemy to have any influence with their propaganda they have to have reach and they no longer have that. Just a decade ago a quarter of the country might tune in to the various outlets and twenty years ago the big outlets could count on tens of millions of viewers every night per show. People are waking up. At this point the media serves more as a bone to toss to Trumps base to keep them riled up than some nefarious enemy to be beaten. They have already been beaten and Trump is right. When he leaves office they will all collapse because they turned their entire output of 'news' into attacking him and they have lost all trust with normal people.
