The Media Keeps To It's Worthless Storyline

I just heard CBS News on the radio in my car.  The reporter announced that President Elect Trump has yet to name a chief of staff because his transition is "in chaos".  What utter BS.  The media is back with this chaos garbage just like during the campaign.

Think back to how many times we were told that Trump's campaign was in chaos and imploding.  When Lewandowski was replaced by Paul Manafort, that was it.  Trump's campaign was over.  Of course, it wasn't.  Then when Manafort was replaced, we were again told that Trump's campaign was imploding in chaos.  It was too close to the election for Trump to possibly recover.  The self-proclaimed geniuses in the media knew for a fact that things were just chaotic at Trump Tower.  Of course, they were wrong.

Now we are on the fourth day since Trump won the election.  The media is certain that the transition is in chaos because of two things:  first, Vice President Elect Pence replaced Chris Christie as the chairman of the transition team, and second, Trump has yet to name a chief of staff.  You would think that the media would be embarrassed to report such garbage, but it's not.  Having Pence atop the transition now that he is no longer out campaigning makes perfect sense.  Pence, unlike anyone other than Trump himself, is not looking for a job and can be and appear impartial.  Pence also has a unique insight into Washington and those who are seeking jobs in the administration.  As far as the timing for naming a chief of staff, four days is not a long time.  In 2008, president Obama took roughly four days to name Rahm Emmanuel as chief of staff.  Were there articles back then about the chaos in the Obama transition?  Of course, the answer is no.

It is time for the media to open its eyes.  The American people understand the bias and dishonest reporting.  If it doesn't stop, we are going to witness the end of the media as we know it.
