So people either tuned out anti-Trump coverage completely, or just assumed it was all bogus. Another reason to blame the media for Trump.
The reason Trump's various "scandals" didn't cut through to the electorate is because the media spent 1.5 years in hysterical meltdown mode.

@mtracey Longer than that. Started with#GamerGate and it's just been escalating since then -
@AN4RCHID@mtracey Outlets pushing those 'scandals' were widely discredited among savvy youth by#GamerGate long before they targeted Trump.

@mtracey near constant outrage eventually becomes total static especially to voters who decided in the last week. -
.
@mtracey: The media's latest#scandal of Trump going out to#dinner without the press is their attempt to#rededicate to honest reporting. -
@mtracey People still bring up the "Mocking disabled" thing, though. Even though there's video proof he mocked others same way. -
@mtracey@EdAsante77 This election should teach everyone about looking at the primary source before buying the premise of a story. -
@mtracey or possibly the decades of tabloid coverage and media speculation about his candidacy made us numb to any of it as a real thing. -
@mtracey They're so bad at their jobs. -
@mtracey@GamingAndPandas Wait, if that was hysterical meltdown mode, what has the last week and a half been? -
@mtracey The "Crying Wolf" effect, as they call it.
