In the summer of 2015, NPR and The Atlantic partnered up to make a bit of radio drama about the *craaazy * notion of Donald Trump winning the presidency.

This one's got it all - from the anchor talking about Deez Nutz, all the way to a clip show of Democrats and Republicans reaching across the aisle to protect America from the scourge of Trump. As usual, NPR reporters disappear up their own assholes as they imagine hypothetical Americans finally realizing the importance of media literacy.

      A few months later, On The Media did a piece where they huffed and puffed about how ridiculous it was to cover Sanders and Trump, because obviously the election was just a Clinton coronation.
