Real Clear Politics EC Reyanna

I read an article from Real Clear Politics titled "Why the Media Lose to Trump". It was a really interesting article and is especially relevant right now, as Trump continues to have very hostile relations with the media. For the entirety of his campaign, Trump has painted himself as a anti-establishment outsider, claiming the system and the media are rigged against him. Regardless of whether this was true or not, his supporters ate it up. Trump painted himself as a victim of a biased, partisan media. So when the media is actually hostile to him, it just feeds into that narrative that he has created and gives truth to his claims. Even when legitimate questions are raised, Trump always turns back to how he is being "treated unfairly." The media really can't win anymore, at least among Trump's supporters.
