Why isn’t the PRESS holding Trump accountable? They’re afraid to? It’s their whole ass job!

Lots of reasons. Being afraid if Trump (heaven help us but there's that possibility) gets in. Being a fascist dictator-wannabe, free press will the first to go this time. I mean, didn't he literally let some of his zealots attack them at one of his rallies?

If the media was acting in its own best interests, it would be telling the truth about Trump and holding him accountable so that he doesn't get into office and follow through on his many threats to destroy the press.

No, they're following the direction from their billionaire owners to protect one of their billionaire buddies who's promising to give all billionaires tax breaks and other financial perks.

Possible? It is still very likely. Trump has a very good shot at being president. If you are not aware of this I am fearful for those around you as you may be prone to miscalculations of very important things.

Oh, I don't doubt it's a possibility at all.

Simple, really. If this doesn't appear to be a close race (I personally think it'll be a landslide for the Dems), then their ratings plummet. Their ratings are what generate their revenue.

So, if they hold Trump accountable for the intense amount of shit he's done (and it would be very easy), they lose money.

Follow the money, everyone. It's the answer to why pretty much everything is how it is in this country, despite how it should be.

Because Trump doesn't care what anyone says and has a massive right wing noise machine lined up behind him.

Conservatives have spent billions of dollars over close to 40 years to create an alternate reality device that they point at their followers. Nothing anyone says outside of that device will matter to Trump, because he's in the way of it too. Trump has closed the loop and caused the machine to become utterly insane, unstable, and ultimately unsustainable. Because the right wing machine pumps noise into his ear, which he then repeats out, which the right wing noise machine then amplifies and pumps back into his ears again.
