Most of the mainstream media (CNN, NBC, NYT, WaPO) has a huge left-wing slant and Trump is calling them out for it. Want proof?

Quoting from a Trump supporter's opinion to support your "argument" that the media is biased - most excellent. I especially enjoy this little titbit:
Tim Montgomerie said:
Tillerson’s Trump-like relationship with the truth probably won’t do him much harm
If you don't have a problem with Trump and his tower of lies, you are part of the problem that allowed him to become President.
I would also suggest you - and Montgomerie - refresh your memories on the concept of correlation versus causation. 96% of journalists donating to Clinton says nothing about their political leanings; an equally plausible explanation is that journalists, whose occupation is working with facts, are more likely to donate to a candidate that doesn't ignore or distort facts at every turn.
The truth as to why certain groups of people no longer trust the "mainstream media" is simple: they don't like the facts that media reports, because said facts make them uncomfortable. And so they turn to "alternative" media, and politicians, that tell them what they want to hear: that their bigotry against homosexuals and women and Muslims is okay; that their blue-collar jobs will be guaranteed, even when automation is already making those jobs obsolete; that voting for the Big Strong Leader is going to make all their problems just go away, without them having to do anything as inconvenient as change their views or lifestyles.
These are the people that voted for Trump. These are the people who voted for the ANC and EFF. These are the people whom the film
Idiocracy was made about. And of course, instead of stopping to question if anything I've said above has any grain of truth, they will discredit my viewpoints out of hand and attack me.
Because that's easier than thinking or changing.
Nice one! If only that were a fact. Sadly, it aint.
