CNN's Fareed Zakaria sums it up: "I think Donald Trump became president of the United States [last night]". Scum.

The corporate media is, well, corporate. You and I are the "products" which they are selling to a handful of "corporate customers". They will do and say almost anything to keep us glued to the tube and they will unconditionally support their corporate buddies - especially the Military-Industrial-Financial Complex.
