I'm the same. I don't watch them. Constant Trump bashing hasn't detoured me one bit. Confirms I must be right because they have been so wrong for to long. Like day one.

Of course they are. If the Republicans tore the country apart for the last 8 years and the Democrats finally had a chance to take it back and their candidate leading the polls was a pathetic joke who was the most unpopular politician in the last 30 years, and every poll showed them getting obliterated by the GOP candidates in a general election, you can bet they would be doing everything in their power to derail them too.

he has been given a pass for so long, about time they start to scrutinize a little more - but really, the media gets more viewers with him in POTUS office than if he disappears.....in other words, it's in the media's best interest to have Trump win the election because the four years of POTUS will bring viewership.....

Hillary will have enough viewers too waiting to see when Bill will have another cigar moment and waiting for another Clinton scandal so that shouldn't matter to the media.

Trumps family life hasn't been something the media could report on much other than him and his wife's done an incredible job raising wonderful kids even after having a divorce and all kids seem to get along. That is not often the case.

I hate to have to tell you trump supporters the obvious, but any "negative press" Trump is getting is simply reporting the man's own recorded words.
agree 100%

It is nothing new, as they do this with every Republican threat, but they are taking it to the extreme and are relentless about it like never before.
Allowing a candidate to call into your news show carte blanche and playing unedited interviews is the opposite of spinning and taking words out of context.

I agree campaign finance reform is important....but the influence of money from the likes of the Koch brothers, etc pales in comparison to the influence and sway of the media.

On the other side it will be interesting to see how the public will vote as I haven't heard of any Trump voter who changed their mind and the ones I know only have turned their channel to stop watching the garbage the so called "know it all" have to say.
Nonsense. Media LOVES keeping Donald Trump in this race, without a contest what would they have to talk about? They are tiptoeing around him rather than doing what journalists should, which is questioning the validity of the populist blather than continuously flows from his mouth.
