As much as I hate the term, this was very much a "post-truth" election. When a large part of the rhetoric is distrust of the media, what do you expect the result to be when they do a deep dig investigation on one of the magnitude of Trump deficiencies? All of a sudden, because they went in depth on a topic, people are going to drop their inherent distrust of them?

No.
I see where our disconnect is. I see infotainment as one of the causes of the misinformed voter whereas you place the blame on the stupidity of the voter being able to tell truth from fiction.

I thinks that's a reasonable position.
