I agree with this, but I'd say it's been that way since the beginnings of media. Viewership and sales have always guided everything more than reality. If people want reality where they can decide, they watch CSPAN.
Trump has consistently lied directly to the American public through all channels and representatives, and dressed it up as being "real" to the people.
That being said, the media are crucifying him and it's getting more and more difficult to extract actionable and/or truthful information.

Or God forbid, they'd riot about the possible side effects.
Trump is doing enough damage to his own credibility right now as is. They only have to sit back and nod. Instead, they're doing what they didn't like Fox News doing during the Obama era.

Yeah fuck him. He won't make it a full term
The guy is posting from /pol/ News Forever (@polNewsForever) | Twitter ... It's loaded with troll bits to push fake news.
Well, Uncle Daddy to the rescue:

For real though, question is, why would Putin come out and say this?
One would assume Trump could provide all the evidence necessary to show the American public the claims are false, if it came down to a need for it.
Is Putin trying to highlight the image of Russian's being in the White House?
Is Putin trying to big brother Trump?
Is this a bluff by Putin to prop up flailing Trump, who he knows fucked up.. And Putin knowing he will never have to release anything to the Americans, as the headline alone could be enough?
Or is Putin actually trying to stick up for the Trump administration because they are telling the truth? If this is the case, why is he sticking up for Trump? An effort towards relationship building or ?

He's laughing to himself behind the scenes. He knows that no one is going to take him seriously, but he's doing it to further disrupt the American political scene.
Putin's goal is to cause as much chaos as possible.

Kneeblock you know the media are cockroaches, they scattered under the fridge when Trump turned the light on them. I subscribe to a bunch of lib pages on FB just for a laugh. And laugh I do. When Trump passed his health care bill, cons were mad because they felt it was Obama Care lite, and libs were convinced the whole country would be dead in a month. It's unreal.I mean, no matter how liberal you are, obviously many media reports about him are obviously trying to provoke hysteria.
So if you're a conservative, does this make you reevaluate some of the stories you might have read about Obama?
I encourage everyone to follow Vox, they pump out an anti-Trump post every 30 minutes.
Serious question...
Who is the hottest Fox reporter? Any fap material out there on the Fox ladies?

The media is ratings-driven typically, as has already been said in this thread. There's something else going on here, though.
Firstly, I don't doubt that people with interests other than ratings buy their way into the media for influence. That is not the driving factor of Trump's crucifixion, though. Trump bit the hand that could have fed him. A good president, or a good public figure in general, knows that the press can be an ally. Today's press was never going to be on the Trump train, so I'm not saying that, but the entire "FAKE NEWS" demonization campaign that he ran, particularly after he won, did nothing to help the way he's been treated as a president. I'm not saying this is ethical, but you can't attack the press as hard as he has and expect anything other than even more scrutiny.
He got this idea that he could go around the press and speak directly to the American people, which I don't hate on its own, but he ignored the fact that the press wasn't going to stop reporting. Now, he's claiming that the people who he shunned to the point of not allowing them into the press meetings at the beginning of his presidency are not treating him fairly. What did he think was going to happen?
This all boils down to his hubris, which is partially what got him into this crazy mess in the first place. The man thinks he can talk his way out of everything, even though as a speaker he is troublesome. He continues to shoot himself in the foot on Twitter, against (I'm assuming) the advice of people around him. The press isn't fair to him, and that's annoying, but let's not pretend he hasn't created a lot of this himself, and let's also not pretend that he doesn't deserve some scrutiny for the way he has handled things in the first 4 months of his presidency. His temperament, and even further his competence, definitely legitimately deserves to be called into question.

By the way, for as much as the news media is against Trump, it's only because there are more liberal-leaning media outlets. Fox News is doing the exact opposite, for the most part. They take every Trump talking point and run with it, while accusing every criticism of being fake news. Sean Hannity is worse than anybody on CNN, and that's saying a lot because CNN is terrible.
President Snowflake?
I hope he finds repose in his safe space......

Whether he be right or wrong, talk about pick the wrong time and occasion to whine on about it.
Trump hasn't gotten a fair shake since before the primaries. He was looked at as a joke who wouldn't win even though he ran as a populist on a completely original platform and appealed to the middle class. As President, he has been disparaged, insulted and disrespected by the media every single day.
He is to blame for some of this controversy coming from the left but the media hysteria is laughable. Also, is the left sure they want Trump impeached and Pence to take over? Pence is way, way more conservative than Trump.
