Media bias is giving Trump hours and hours and millions upon millions of dollars of free air time and not giving fair or equal free air time to anyone else, Republican or Democrat. There's your media bias.
That was two survivors of Benghazi, not a weeping mother that CNN cut away for basic commentary.

Families of Fallen Soldiers Demand Donald Trump Apologize for ‘Repugnant’ Remarks

Families of Fallen Soldiers Demand Donald Trump Apologize for

Families of nearly a dozen fallen soldiers on Monday demanded an apology from Donald Trump for “repugnant” remarks he made in response to the emotional speech given by a father of a slain Muslim Army captain at last week’s Democratic National Convention.

Eleven Gold Star families, those who lost loved ones serving the country’s military, wrote a joint letter to the Republican presidential nominee, accusing him of “cheapening the sacrifice” of their deceased relatives in the way he responded to the parents of Captain Humayun S.M. Khan.

Donald Trump never apologizes because Donald Trump is never wrong. At least according to Donald Trump.

Trump keep his mouth shut ? When has he ever done that ?
Mr Khans father did directly attack and name Trump , that was the goal of the speech .
Perhaps he could have spoken about anti Muslim attitudes in America in general ?
Surely Trump is not the only person in America that has been accused of this .

On one hand it can make Trump look bad , but on the other people could view this as Trump being strong .
It shows he's still not willing to be politically correct and is still not a " traditional candidate"

I could not find a list of the families, 11 families. If you see a list of the names, I would like to see a link.

As we know, this father is exploding the death of his son for the cause, or so it looks. Hillary will allow Islam and sharia law to flourish. As we know, Hillary is partially owned by the countries of the Middle East.

Again, the article by Allen West: I have a PERSONAL message for the Muslim father whose son was killed in Iraq - Allen B. West - AllenBWest.com He puts it all in prospective.

This is another non-issue. We had black citizens that fought wars for us and died. They weren't even allowed to vote. African Americans In The Civil War | HistoryNet

Putting things in prospective makes a world of difference. The military is all volunteer now and has been for some time. No soldier is more valuable than any other.

"In addition to missing the speech by Benghazi survivors Mark Geist and John Tiegen, Fox News cut to commercial during the speech by Patricia Smith, mother of Benghazi victim Sean Smith."

On Fox News, Trump pre-empts Benghazi speeches - Jul. 18, 2016

There's your weeping mother. And I notice you say nary a word about all the millions of dollars of free air time Trump has gotten over every other candidate as being an example of media bias.

Why, nothing at all. He's Donald Trump. He is never wrong.

So says Donald Trump.

Default Republican hypocrites on Benghazi, national security

As with its disastrous decision to provide inadequate funding for cyber security, the Republican Congress also slashed funding for embassy security.

Ronan Farrow says inadequate security funding from Congress leads to tragedies like Benghazi | PunditFact

The Real Benghazi Scandal - The Atlantic

It would not be surprising if Clinton devoured Trump if he raises the issue in a debate.

The Republican unwillingness to adequately fund the government has resulted in immense losses to the nation, such as the 22 million in compromised ID profiles of federal employees.

House budget silent on cybersecurity | TheHill

Trump and other Republicans want to expand our global policing roles, but want to rely on increased borrowings or domestic cuts to fund these efforts. Meanwhile, they've greatly compromised the nation's existing security.
