Skank Is A Necessary Word To Describe The Corrupt Media And Politics These Days I Won't Apologize For Using It

SKANK  slang :  a person and especially a woman of low or sleazy character

The only objection to the word is that it is used by some exclusively for women while it is a perfect word that also describes such behavior and character of many men, as well.   The New York Times' Dowd and FOX's Tantaros were being skanky in the media, I don't see anything wrong with calling that what it was.  The New York Times' false reporting about Hillary Clintons' e-mail account was skanky too, in that case the skanks were the reporters Michael Schmidt and Matt Appuzo as well as the all male chain of command which ran with the story and perpetuated it, it is widely believed given to them by the skanky congressman Trey Gowdy.  Pretty much the entire mainstream, media, male and female are skanky these days.  I don't see any reason not to use the word.   I don't see any reason for the gender of the likes of Maureen Dowd and the entire female staff at FOX to shield them from the word, especially as they use and promote regressive stereotypes of women, constantly, in their media careers.  I certainly don't see any reason for the word to not apply to the New York Times in general when they practice the same kind of skanky media promotion that FOX and the other cabloids do.  They are all sleazy, low characters, those sleazy low characters are the reason we had the politicians we had during the Bush II regime and the reason we have the sleazy skanky Supreme Court majority we've generally got.  Calling them what they are is necessary.
