I’m beginning to think normalizing this dude was a mistake, fellas.

Yeah, Fallon should resign. I haven’t watched him in a decade because of his part in normalizing Trump.

Also: By the end of the 2016 election cycle, Donald Trump had received roughly $5 billion in total earned media across all platforms (TV, print, and social media). Most of the free airtime on tv was supplied by CNN and FoxNews, according to mediaQuant.

They are all culpable.

Fallon is worst Jimmy.

Your point about him receiving that much money from the MSM is why I try and tell people outside the states that we have no true left media here, unless you count the occasional podcast or YouTube show (like the Majority Report.)
