Right-wing US media on the wrong track

The right wing hacks on Fox News keep gloating that the mainstream media is out of touch with the American people because polls show most Americans don’t “worry” about Russia. Give me a break!

If a poll taker asked me: “Do you worry about Russia”, I’d say :”Not particularly”. But if I was asked: “Does it concern you that an enemy country interfered in America’s election, might have effected the outcome and there is circumstantial evidence that the current thugs running America colluded with that enemy”, I’d respond: “You better believe it!”
Then the Fox News hacks say the election of Donald Trump is further evidence that the mainstream media is out of touch with Americans. Not one of those hacks mentions that Hillary Clinton won nearly 3 million more votes than Trump. The reason she still lost is that the Wikileaks, which got their information from the Russians, cost Clinton a small number of votes which had a dramatic effect on the electoral college because of the battleground states. Considering Donald Trump’s historically low approval ratings, it would seem that it’s Fox News, not the New York Times, that doesn’t have a clue to how most Americans feel.
