The MSM looks like it is collapsing

Their messaging is becoming not just ineffective, but counter productive towards their political goals.  Here are two links that illustrates this.

The Washington Post published a sob story about how awful it was that a second kid dies trying to get into the country.  His father needed money to pay an electricity bill and so borrowed money to pay a smuggler to get him and his son into the US.  The comments at the WaPo web site are scathing:

This is the most liked comment:

This child's siblings in Guatemala are alive and well. The child was dragged to the US using money that could have paid the father's overdue electric bill, which is not a reason to grant asylum.

That is responded to by another well-liked comment:

Thank you. I am liberal myself but I get tired of people who shut off their critical thinking when it comes to brown people. This guy made a spectacularly risky decision, and his child paid the price. It's on his head. This is, of course, on the assumption that the U.S. wasn't negligent in the kid's care - which is certainly possible. Nonetheless it's his father who endangered him.

The second most well liked comment is:

This is human trafficking with children being used as pawns. Our charity is being abused. We're being scammed.

There's a lot more but the message is clear that even Washington Post readers are not buying the message.  You could almost call it a massive outbreak of sanity breaking out among the left.  A second link discusses a Wall Street Journal editorial:

In the words of the WSJ: "[C]an anyone reading those opening two sentences wonder why millions of Americans believe Donald Trump when he tells them that he can’t get a fair shake from the press?" 

I'll just add that I can barely read the news these days (and I absolutely cannot watch it on TV). The negativity toward Trump is so relentless, cluttering up everything. It's crying wolf times a thousand. If anything is worth taking seriously, I'm afraid I won't be able to notice.

The blogger is politically moderate but this seems yet more sanity.  Especially this:  It's crying wolf times a thousand.  These seem like useful links when dealing with liberal family or friends.

There appears to be a law of diminishing returns for liberal press bias.
