The press has been meddling with elections since I have been voting. With Kerry v.s Bush Rather got hammered when he was caught. NBC threw him on sword. Since then they have become more blatant. The media is solidly behind Hillary for whatever reason. They should be reporting fact and fact only on both candidates. Had they done their jobs neither candidate would be the finalist today.

CNN started to show it, but then cut it off before Trump was even introduced. MSNBC made no mention of it at all. FOX showed it in its entirety.

When one of the 2 major candidates gives a policy speech, not a rally, but a policy speech, how can you call yourself a news organization when you pretend it didn't even happen?
I agree, it has become increasingly clear that all the media stations have a bias and aren't reporting the news fairly. Most of them are in favor of Hillary.


For example, yesterday I was listening to AM radio on the way home from the Cubs game and regarding Trump's recent Birther Statement the CBS news only included the "I Finished It and President Barack Obama was born in the United States. Period" portion of his very short statement. Nothing about the Clinton Campaign starting it in 2008 or moving past the discussion to focus on Making America Great Again.


Frankly, I see that there is no reason to even include the "I finished it" statement w/out the "Clinton started it" statement. And Trumps whole statement was VERY short and could have easily been included. I watched the entire speech earlier in the day so I recognized the slant.


The MSM has exhausted me. Now I must go and watch entire video clips to formulate any sort of independent conclusion. What a waste of time....
