The left is constantly talking about how Trump has no policies. No substance. Meanwhile, when he gives a policy speech, FOX is the only one of the three major news networks to air it.

Trump gave an excellent policy speech tonight on working mothers and childcare. One that probably would make a lot of republicans nauseous, and one that would have democrats agreeing with every word, had those words been coming out of someone else's mouth.

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 don't know.

As far as I am concerned they have lost their first amendment rights for failure to do their first amendment duties

The people who are behind Trump trust him, those people don't need specifics and details, they have the general jist of where he stands on almost every issue, we have heard hundreds if not thousands of hours of him speaking over the last year or so, where he stands is in stone. if you aren't a trump supporter, you want 'specifics' as if that's going to matter, nobody who's anti trump really wants specifics, its just a talking point to suggest he 'doesnt know what he's doing'.

Yes, I think the media should he held criminally liable for its dereliction of duty.

No, we should all simply ignore any media that is not covering the legitimate news fairly, and accurately.

The MSM is too late. Trump is on a roll and should he win the left will blame the MSM for creating Trump. They'll blame the media for the massive free coverage Trump has received instead of simply ignoring him.

Not always easy to do as you just described 90%+ of the media!

Expecting Trump to win? I'd say his chances have increased (maybe 40%) but he is still the underdog.

Well, if it's going to be only one network FOX is the one you want.

I believe the FOX viewership totals more than CNN and MSNBC combined.

Then you run the risk of putting yourself in a bubble. It's better to know what the other side is thinking.
