CNN wants the ratings, and President Drumpf gives them the ratings. The more viewers, the more money they make from ad's. If Drumpf didn't want all the media attention, then he should stop making the controversy.

What the **** is wrong with you?

I'm disagreeing with what the problem is. You're suggesting there is collusion. That's not true. Biased and sensationalist media is always a problem but you incorrectly identify the problem.

What is wrong with you?

Where is integrity, honesty and ethics of being the media?

See, this is why people don't take your posts seriously. In no way am I defending the media. I'm critical of the media all the time. All I'm doing is saying that there isn't some conspiracy between the DNC and CNN. It's not some evil propaganda machine, it's a money making media outlet that relies on sensationalism and a specific target audience.

But you can't handle that. You need to be right, for whatever reason, so you invent some argument for me to make. Well, do as you wish. The number of people who will leave you off of their block list will grow ever smaller the more you do this. How I've not added you to my ignore list is a mystery at this point.

How is this collusion acceptable? Shouldn't our media remain free, fair and unbiased?

I know some of the leftists will say what about Foxnews. Well, I believe we should hold them all to the same standard. Let's also keep in mind that Foxnews is in the distant minority here. The next example some leftists come up with would be Alex Jones which is a nut job.
How is Fox in the minority? It's a major component of why this country is so freakin stupid and brainwashed.

Not to mention Fox typically receives higher rates and get more views overall.

But the OPs relationship to facts is troubled at best.
