Explore the self-destruction of the liberal media during the shocking, history making 2016 presidential election in BOOMERANG.
The media set out to annihilate Donald Trump and his campaign for president. Yet after months of pummeling, it didn't work. The American people still made him president of the United States.
The media's coverage of the 2016 presidential election didn't offer the usual carnival of liberal favoritism.

And they gave oxygen to every excuse advanced by the Left to explain their loss. They blamed the Constitution and Electoral College. They blamed cheaters in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. They blamed Putin and Russian hacking. They blamed "fake news." But Trump had turned the tables on them. They had become the issue instead.
The media had destroyed themselves.
