Just moments after President Donald Trump's surreal,???????? ???? ???? ?????? whirlwind press conference came to a close Thursday, the Trump campaign sent out a very strange email.
The email posits that the media is an enemy that must be deflected, inviting recipients to take a survey about how much they hate CNN, MSNBC, Fox News and all mainstream media.
"Instead, you -- the American people -- are our last line of defense against the media’s hit jobs," the email read. But there's more. As if to drive the point home with the hammer of Thor, the 25 questions are branded "the Mainstream Media Accountability Survey."

But, give them credit for knowing their audience. The whole thing is just one giant example of confirmation bias, aimed at people already on Trump's campaign mailing list. The survey basically says: The media is terrible. You agree, right?
