Another thing the Times doe's all the time is go through files of hundreds of photos to show Trump or other Republicans with a weird grimace on their face or other unflattering photo.
While with that ugly old hag, Clinton or other Democrats every picture is perfect. Smile, hair, makeup, clothes, background, lighting absolutely a beautiful picture.

lol. Vega - I am not a Hillary fan, but I gotta tell you, she doesn't make faces often if at all like the Trumpster does. If she did, the media would love to print those. Media loves anything that sensationalizes. The reason you see Trump looking like a moronic madman so often is - he is one.

OK... doubt it. How about an article like Trump is suddenly polling competitively in deep blue Wisconsin, or is way ahead in Iowa which was safely for Obama twice? An article about how Trump really appeals to white working class voters who weren't fans of McCain and Romney. You won't see that though.

INstead it's... Trump is so nasty, racist, and toxic he's going to make the Republicans lose Georgia!
I keep feeding you answers to your protest questions. You keep ignoring how obviously true my comments are. Pretty deliberate. Pretty damn funny

Trump is so "nasty, racist, and toxic", yes. And that's why he's being covered the way he is. He's mugging for the media and begging for it. He needs them to constantly cover his negative campaign.

And none of that changes the truth that the Times is factual in their reporting. They're not making stuff up about the Trumpster that he isn't doing and shoving in everybody's face.

You just described mostly all mainstream media. The only escape I've found is Fox News Network on cable. Oddly, FNN often interviews a pro-Trump advocate and pro-Clinton advocate at the same time, and gives them an even break. That's what I call balanced news. They even have a bunch of lefty Fox contributors like Juan Williams.

Honestly, I just don't understand why most MSM is so biased in favor of liberals. There can be no doubt this is so, at least not in my opinion.

I sometimes wonder if my brains aren't working right and it's me, not the MSM. If I could just explain the bias I wouldn't feel that way, but I am totally clueless why so much bias.

One thing for sure. There has never been an election like this in the US. America is facing a huge turning point. Nobody knows which way it will go, and furthermore I doubt anything is going to change right up to election day, and possibly late into the evening.

Either way the America you will be living in 4 years from now will be drastically different from current day America.


I'm going to request an absentee ballot as soon as I get the sample ballot, vote as soon as I get the absentee ballot, and probably stack up on ebooks and/or DVDs and leave the election coverage off on election day. I'll find out the next morning what America will be like in 4 years.

Or maybe Iran will get their nukes and ballistic missiles up and running within 4 years and there will be no America. It won't be much consolation there will be no Iran either. If there isn't any America there will probably be no me either. At least dead people don't give a damn.

That's your opinion. Trump does love the media spotlight, and maybe it does help him in the end. But he's not all the things they say he is.

You're missing my point. It's not about the content of the stories - it's what stories THEY CHOOSE TO COVER. They only cover stories that are negative toward Trump. They don't cover positive stories about Trump. Like I said, front page today, Trump's so horrible he's going to make the Republicans lose georgia possibly. There may be some evidence supporting this, there's some that doesn't. Either way, why don't we have a story about Trump bringing out new Republican voters in Pennsylvania or Iowa, which is also supported by evidence?

Why are you reading the LA Times anyway? Another few years and newspapers will be extinct.

Then you can ask why so many MSM networks are so biased.

Myself, I am totally clueless. I have no answer. I think the best solution is to quit reading newspaper dreck or watching TV dreck. Spend more time reading books and watching movies.

The new survival skill will be your ability to excel at online video gaming. You'll get your food stamps and monthly assistance check and with a little luck you can stay on da webz for the rest of your life.

Actually I could really use an issue of the LA Times tomorrow. I need to do some spray painting and don't want to get overspray on my garage floor or driveway. Maybe I'll use the lawn and the overspray will grow away.
