For the last 8 years about 50% of us have been unhappy with the direction of the government

You know, for the last 8 years about 50% of us have been unhappy with the direction of the government. The other 50% have been worried about being unhappy for 2 months. What is the difference? For the most part, the media did not give voice or validation to the first group for the entire 8 years. Instead they assisted the administration to accomplish whatever they wished. Now, the media is still giving those same folks a dissenting voice. And, to date, the concerns are only "what ifs" because Obama is still in charge. One would think that a nod, at least, is in order to the 50% of us who are concerned about the debt, foreign relations, immigration, cyber security, veterans affairs and healthcare, etc. It also doesn't seem out of the realm of fairness to seek and demand the truth on gun running, Benghazi, the 10 billion to Iraq, and other open issues. Need an example? How much updating has been done on Obamacare? How much it has increased the federal bureaucracy, how much it has hurt state economies, how many of the newly covered are covered under Medicaid and not the ACA, how much premiums have increased and coverage decreased? Let's give voice to both viewpoints and let's give President Trump the same positive coverage you gave Obama.
