Id say Bush is far more to blame than the media.It was Bush who told the country Iraq had WMD'S and that we were in grave danger.The media didn't make that up.
Sounds like it is time for a list of specific instances where members of news organizations lied and practiced other unethical conduct. It has been a long time coming, not that I expect any news organization to take up such an undertaking themselves.
Edit: Forgot about your mention of Trump in your post. Mere accusations, especially unsupported accusations of misconduct is not evidence of misconduct. When specific members of the Trump empire are accused of breaking specific laws and there is credible support for each element for the crime which would be needed for a reasonable chance for conviction, then I will consider press histrionics to be more than political foreplay.

You sound like were on the panel of “great ones” who came up with the Presidential rankings.
You made the statement that “Actually He (Obama, based on your post history) is one of the best ever. Now please try to support this statement.
Please take your time, as I need a chance to prepare some popcorn!
I mainly blame the media for letting Bush use them to advance his agenda that led to the killing of innocent people and increased destabilization of the Middle East. I guess lobbying weapons contractors need their play time as well.
Killed Bin Laden
Ended Iraq war
Saved auto industry
Ended dont ask dont tell
Stopped Iran from getting nukes
Federal Recognition of Same-Sex Marriages
Ended Bush torture policies
Normalized Relations with Cuba
Protected DREAMers from Deportation
etc etc etc
It is the medias job to report credible accusations,they do it with all Presidents.His lawyers accusations supported with porn star pay outs,25 million Trump university fraud fine,over 20 accusations of sexual misconduct , thousands of documented lies,thousands of lawsuits,hundreds of people saying he didn't pay them,family admitting to meeting with Russians to get help for his campaign, etc etc etc are credible accusations the media should report

LeBron James School Crushing Expectations ... Huge Gains In Test Scores
LeBron James says he's INCREDIBLY PROUD of stats showing the students at his "I Promise" school in Akron are making tremendous gains in statewide testing ... just 1 year after it opened.
There are only 240 students in the inaugural 3rd and 4th grade classes at the Akron school -- but numbers obtained by the NY Times show test scores in math and reading were up BIG after the first year.
In reading, the 3rd and 4th graders had initially scored in the lowest percentile -- the 1%.
But, after a year, when the students took the district-wide exams, the 3rd graders JUMPED to the 9th percentile and the 4th graders moved to the 16th!
Take a second and reflect on that -- those are HUGE gains.
And that's not all ... when it came to math, the 3rd graders jumped from the 1% to the 18th percentile -- and 4th graders moved from the 2% to the 30th!!!!
When asked about the incredible improvements, LeBron told the Times, "These kids are doing an unbelievable job, better than we all expected."
He added, "When we first started, people knew I was opening a school for kids. Now people are going to really understand the lack of education they had before they came to our school."
"People are going to finally understand what goes on behind our doors."
So, what does go on behind their doors?
Besides access to teachers and materials, the school also provides clothing and snacks to families that need it ... which is partially funded by LeBron's foundation.
Keep up the good work!!!
