30. Never pick a fight with people who buy ink
buy the barrel. ...
Every R President since - and including - Nixon fought the MSM into the WH. So even before ConservaTalk Radio bypassed the MSM ideological monopoly this fight was possible. Then ConservaTalk Radio and the Internet made the MSM bypass a flood that broke the monopoly.
Blather & Mapes tried to take down GWB with a blatant fraud, and the Internet started their collapse within 24 hours.
The MSM bought Phillips' hoax, and the Internet started the collapse of the hoax within 24 hours.
Smollett attempted his hoax, and the Internet made the work of CPD and Chicago's local news people national, bypassing the MSM who wanted to believe Smollett's hoax.
The WashPost lied about the Covington High boys and targeted Nick Sandmann. They were put on notice by Sandmann's lawyer and were given ample time to say those five simple words, "We were wrong, we apologize." I don't think Sandmann will become the WashPost's new owner, but I think he has a good chance of winning, with the WashPost paying a judgment they won't easily forget.
