I couldn't even look at the TV without wanting to throw a brick at all the media companies (they're really the worst xD).

Exactly this, absolutely spot on. I'll even supply you with the brick.

It's an ongoing battle with each media corporation to see who can get the best story at the time. As a result, they tend to go to great lengths to glorify their coverage, thereby do whatever It takes to be ahead of the others. If It means (example) attacking Trump and falsifying Information just to be In the spotlight, then be It as It may. They have no shame In doing so.

This Is one of many reason why I stay away from most media reports.
