Donald Trump’s Presidential Run Began in an Effort to Gain Stature
- mark_l_watson 11y agoI am no fan of Donald Trump but it is amazing and disturbing to see the media bias against him. I was watching General Electric News (i.e., MSNBC) this morning and the reporter was smearing him, and frankly I think she lied about a few things she said. I have the same complaint about the coverage for Bernie Sanders - seems really slanted against him. On the other hand, the coverage for Clinton and the other republican candidates seems fair.

- drewrv 11y agoI think they view attacks on trump as apolitical since "he doesn't represent the mainstream of the party". Turns out the "mainstream" of the party is more deranged and racist than even most liberals suspected.
- drewrv 11y agoThere's some anti-trump bias in reporting, but if you watch interviews with him, reporters never take him to task for anything. They'd rather help spread his message than risk losing interviews (and thus ratings). http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/03/09/anderson_cooper_s_interview_with_donald_trump_was_a_disgrace.html http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/03/09/anderson_c...
