The public seems to stand behind Trump when you look at the votes and the media can't get enough of talking about Trump and most of it is bashing.

From outrageous bashing to moderate negative talk.

Right now I'm so done with the media that we are changing channels more and more, away from the bashers and we already know there are many like us.

To me it seems the opposite affect will keep going on and on and Trump will get more votes and the bashers will try to be louder and spend more time on bashing and divide the Country more.

Sadly the establishment is still trying to stop trump instead of letting the votes count and therefore I will no longer call myself one of the GOP but will support Trump.

We are even considering to become an Independent.

We are the same (all of the above). Disgusted with the news, and when we find a positive segment about Trump we cling to it. Other than that, we don't watch it anymore, it's unwatchable. We go to conservative treehouse.


Every time he wins on election night, we think things will be better, more positive, but it never happens.

They are raking in the cash talking about him. It's sad-he has been given over $1 Billion in free advertising while there is a near media black-out on Sanders.

Media Executives Loving the Trump Show

Les Moonves, the CEO and Executive Chairman of CBS recently said the following at a media conference in San Francisco:

“It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS,” Moonves said of the presidential campaign.

Trump’s presence makes the whole spectacle unpredictable and entertaining, not unlike a reality show. “Most of the ads are not about issues,” Moonves added, “They’re sort of like the debates.

Man, who would have expected the ride we’re all having right now?…The money’s rolling in and this is fun. I’ve never seen anything like this, and this is going to be a very good year for us. Sorry. It’s a terrible thing to say. But, bring it on, Donald. Keep going.”

It's simple: The media is a business, and Trump is entertaining, and therefore good for business.

BTW, if you look at polls, the majority of voters don't support him; he just attracts a significant minority who are zealots.

See, I told you, MSM wants Donald to keep going until he wins the general. All corporate executives want is higher executive compensation due to higher ad revenues from better ratings. That's their "hidden agenda."

You think it's just the media? Look at the topics on the page you just posted on OP.

Yep-it's absurd to think the Media wants him gone-they are loving it, despite the long term consequences.

Their not so hidden agenda is also to stop anyone who wants to remove their gravy train by getting big money out of politics so anyone can run for office without having to beg the rich for money. One candidate in the race proposes to do that, by moving to public funding of elections.

You need to cite where he is "racist", or it's libel. People like you see articles stating:

Quote:
Trump’s denunciations of trade deals, his condemnation of politicians who ushered in outsourcing, and his tough, often-xenophobic rants about immigrants taking domestic jobs all lay out a policy portfolio that, at the most basic level, can be attractive to the economically marginalized.
Notice, as always, "ILLEGAL" conveniently missing. Just as it always is.

The media is there to entertain people, get these sheeple riled up, and sell advertising. Nothing more.

Since this is lost on people, here, from Webster's:
Simple Definition of illegal
: not allowed by the law : not legal
: not allowed by the rules in a game

Full Definition of illegal
: not according to or authorized by law : unlawful, illicit; also : not sanctioned by official rules (as of a game)

I don't think it matters if you give people definitions. Words don't have meaning anymore and there is a segment that just need to believe the worst about him. Even though the truth is out there (for example denouncing the KKK over and over and over and still was not enough); I've never seen anything like it.
