A video was posted on Twitter today reminding us of how almost all sectors of the media used to DROOL over Michael Avenatti as some anti-Trumpian folk hero:

The video is also here:
Ted Cruz retweeted this video a few moments ago, saying “Will even one of member the corrupt corporate media — who for months fluffed Avenatti as a serious Dem presidential contender — apologize & admit that the were full of 💩💩💩?”

That was a rhetorical question, by the way, because Cruz and everyone else knows the garbage media is shameless and could care less what they get wrong. They don’t even care about their reputation, as it comes to the right, because they’ve got enough ignorant leftist fools out there who they can easily manipulate to follow whatever agenda they are pushing.
Here’s more reaction to Avenatti’s sentencing and/or the media’s complicity in pushing this leftist ‘folk hero’:
After two teases, all CNN could stand was — hope you're sitting down for this one — 90 seconds on Michael Avenatti being sentenced to two and a half years in prison. Victor Blackwell and Alisyn Camerota said nothing about CNN's role in enabling and lionizing Avenatti. Pathetic. pic.twitter.com/Gdj9oLrLCm

Lest we forget how certain media luminaries fawned over Avenatti. https://t.co/p1wIo6v1TQ

funniest twist to this is avenatti claiming in court the media adulation made him think he was untouchable.

Analysts tell me this could be a problem for an Avenatti presidential run. https://t.co/mHQhdN20E6

The judge says Avenatti was "drunk" on his perceived power of his platform.
He notes the charges pending in other cases against him.
