The 'media' leans whichever way you want it to. Do you think Hannity is fair and balanced? He practically begged people to vote for Trump during his show.
Of course he is biased to the right but the general rule/the vast majority of the media:
"In a crushing body blow to the pushers of the so-called "Fox Effect," which claims the conservative media is dragging the left into the center, UCLA political science professor Tim Groseclose in Left Turn claims that "all" mainstream news outlets have a liberal bias in their reporting that makes even moderate organizations appear out of the mainstream and decidedly right-wing to news consumers who are influenced by the slant."
""Fox News is clearly more conservative than ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and National Public Radio. Some will conclude that 'therefore, this means that Fox News has a conservative bias,'" he writes in an advance copy provided to Washington Whispers. "Instead, maybe it is centrist, and possibly even left-leaning, while all the others are far left. It's like concluding that six-three is short just because it is short compared to professional basketball players.""
And take into account the collusion/cheating going on with the debate questions, etc. It's wrong and cheating.
ummm... Your title is misleading. CNN didn't say white people aren't voting... it said that white people are a shrinking percentage of the electorate. The article did say that whites weren't voting at as high a rate as they did in the past or as high a rate as blacks, but it also said that whites accounted for "76% of all eligible voters who died between 2012 and 2016". So, it isn't really like they are wholesale sitting out the election (i.e. "not voting"), it is that 'other people' are voting at higher rates than are whites, combined with them not voting because they died.
That is a lot of BS. The only "decline" of white voters is because more non-white people live in the US than in the past, and there is a lower percentage of white people compared to a decade+ ago.
Shall we take a moment to look at the sources of the data that CNN reported? They don't appear to be wildly biased media outlets. And, the bottom line is that the thread title is misleading - white people are voting, but their control of the results is shrinking.

"About Pew Research Center Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan fact tank that informs the public about the issues, attitudes and trends shaping America and the world. It conducts public opinion polling, demographic research, media content analysis and other empirical social science research. Pew Research Center does not take policy positions. It is a subsidiary of The Pew Charitable Trusts."
CNN is also trying to sway the vote for Hillary by suggesting that white suburban educated people are voting for Hillary and lower class uneducated white people are voting for Trump. Like no one who is educated could possibly vote for Trump.
I really haven't seen that on CNN. But, then, I'm educated and I couldn't possibly vote for trump.
The huge gaping hole in this article is immigration and birth rate. Are white people being abducted by aliens or disappearing into thin air? No mention of a lopsided immigration policy that takes in one million people a year or that native-born whites have less children than immigrant groups, and that is why demographics are shifting. Otherwise it implies American blacks and Hispanics must be pumping out five kids a family, which is just not true.
I also notice that whenever CNN talks about lack of enthusiasm for Clinton among black people, they breathlessly remind viewers that enthusiasm was higher for Obama because he was the first black contender for president. So it's not that they're not into Hillary--she's just not Obama and nobody will be Obama. Why don't they compare enthusiasm levels to Gore or Bill Clinton then? Because they were still more enthusiastic for those white males than for Hillary, exposing the fact that she is not liked even among her base!
Further, this morning they highlighted NC as a battleground and the importance of the Hispanic population there (read: NC will break for Hillary and there's nothing you can do about it). While it is true that the Hispanic numbers in that state have jumped exponentially over the years (though they're still a small percentage of the total), they did not tell us the break down of eligible voters. Those who are non-citizen immigrants or are under 18 years-old are a large chunk of that community there.
Census data has shown for a long time that the birth rate among whites is lower than among other groups. So, no, white people are not being abducted.. but, according to the article, they are 76% of the eligible voters who died between 2012 and 2016. I guess that is a version of 'disappearing into thin air'.

To be fair: "Hispanic" ain't a race and; even many US citizens of Indian Hispanic family are Trump fans.
What about all those millions of KKK members voting for Trump.?
lolololololol
