If the Media Did Rig the Election…
Twitterverse has some suggestions on how it should turn out
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has been on a rant about the presidential election being “rigged by corrupt media” and Washington insiders.
Twitter took the accusation to the absurd, with arguments over the validity of Trump’s claims giving way to how the election should be rigged.
There were more conspiracy theories floated, others shot down and some constructive criticism about how it might have been better rigged.

Other asked why the word “if” was in the hashtag.
the hashtag #IfTheMediaRiggedTheElection is so stupid. The media did help rig the election. Take the “If” out
