Was it a news story when Hillary defended Gore after he complained about lost votes, hanging Chad's, and the election results going to supreme court?

Why did democrats complain about the 2000 election since it was completely fair?

I just spent the last 20 hours or more recuperating from surgery, and I watched all the cable news channels while laid up.
Wikileaks and Trump were the only 2 stories on them all. Replayed over and over. of course the latest Trump news dominated by a wide margin, taking up almost all of a news show, but Wikileaks was a distant second. The siege of Mosul, which, in normal times, would be covered extensively, amounted to nothing more than a few shots of fighters shooting rifles over another mud wall. We have seen lots of those clips for the past 15 years.

The fact is, Trump simply takes up all the available air on them all. No one wants to hear anything but what he's doing, and the reporters simply are following where the demand for stories on him lead them.

It's been like this for over 19 months now. Wikileaks is only one of many other very important breaking news stories that have risen over this time period and sunk as fast as they arrived. Our common fascination with one man has subsumed 9/10ths of our news for a long time now, and the remaining 1/10th has some peripheral connection to Trump. (Except for the Kardashians.)

Obviously, we get exactly the news we demand. Nothing more, nothing less.

Because look at Trump's tax situation. They say he didnt pay taxes on his $900million loss. Ok thats probably true but its nothing illegal. He was playing by the rules and he called Hillary out on it in the debate which the news isn't reporting. Hillary is a big wall street supporter and may of her fans are doing the same thing Trump has done. Anyone thats run a business know to write as much off as you can to show you made as little as possible to pay as little taxes as possible. This is nothing new.

I do think the Media wanted a trump vs hillary showdown and did everything they could to get it. Never trust the media. Matt Lauer is a complete joke and a hack journalists but he gets paid somethign like $20+million/yr?

Maybe it's crazy but wouldn't a non-biased media simply cover how Trump can pay no taxes without being an extension of Hilary's attack angle? Why not cover the issue honestly (i.e. it's perfectly legal/done often/let's move on) instead of sensationalizing it and creating a wedge issue between Trump and those that pay taxes (but hate it)?

The MSM will try to distance themselves from Hillary once the election is over and done with. It must unbearable for them to have to ignore the endless news stories delivered by Wikileaks. There is material there for months or even years so come. They are losing out on all of it. But first they have to take care of business. That has been to ensure Donald Trump is not elected at any cost.

The alliance with Hillary has cost them enormously in the court of public opinion. Everybody is asking why on earth are they not covering any of the Wikileaks revelations. Well you will soon be hearing coverage on the emails to make up for the endless Trump coverage for weeks now.

Hillary and the MSM will have a far more rockier relationship going forward. Each views the other as the more toxic partner in the relationship. That's the private side

For the public side. Look for even fake and orchestrated fallouts between Hillary and the media. All for show , just to give the appearance of less than cozy arrangements between the two. As the Wikileaks have shown us by now, what goes on behind the scenes is quite astounding. Put nothing past Hillary and certainly not the MSM.

The media is trying to get law enforcement to shut down wikileaks and refuses to publish real news from wikileaks....if they were publishing bad things about Trump, they would all be screaming like wild hyenas demanding jail, FBI investigations, bring back the German gas machines and kill the deplorables, etc.

Yep. The media will try a more "balanced" [fake] approach to win back some viewers if Hillary is elected. I won't be surprised if for shock value they have some prominent outraged liberals "break their silence" and say "Maybe Trump would've been the better choice". Of course for many that have went through this election cycle, the MSM is dead forever. To a slightly lesser extent, the same goes the US government in general.

Today's dump is on Hillary transfering $1.4 billion from her foundation into a private account in Qatar.

Why won't media cover these releases?
Clinton foundation... is it so good?? what does 1.8 billion $ looks like??

You mean the guy who would follow the lead of Al Gore in 2000? As was supported by Hillbilly?
