Here in Mexico, all I remember is the anti-Trump narrative that was being pushed the by mainstream news companies (in a scarily coordinated matter). If these organizations were able to defeat this non-stop barrage of articles and news coverage, then they should be commended for taking on essentially the entire American establishment.

Perhaps all the attention from this news coverage (almost all negative) gave Trump the edge.

Perhaps the average person realized that something is fishy about all this coordinated negative coverage and looked for alternative sources.

Perhaps his message was powerful and important enough for most people that they could ignore the negative media assault.

Either way, I think it's time to stop looking for scapegoats and move on.

This is how you know you’re a conspiracy theorist: when multiple sources report the same thing, you assume it’s a sign of scary collusion instead of the simpler fact that it’s the truth.
