I was curious about this Greenwald quote, which does not really match my perception of recent media coverage, so I went and looked up the date[0]: the article in which the quote appears was published in July. Greenwald's context here is mostly (or entirely? I'm not sure when the interview itself was conducted) based on the primary process, which certainly seemed strongly anti-Trump, to the extent that many outlets even refused to believe what the polls were telling them [1].

I don't vote but the media bias against Trump is absolutely ridiculous. Makes me question everything I've read from the news. False story after story. Clinton campaigns Wikileaks emails confirm a vast media collaboration campaign to smear Trump and avoid negative Clinton stories.

    Clinton & Media narrative that Trump is ‘crazy racist’ is completely fabricated[0]. You can find it from the Wikileaks as well. [0]http://blog.dilbert.com/post/146605145036/persuasion-update-clinton-vs-trump http://blog.dilbert.com/post/146605145036/persuasion-update-...

      I have no problem calling Trump a racist thanks to his very first speech in the race calling Mexicans rapists and drug dealers. Followed up by the thoughtful idea of banning all Muslims from entering the USA and that anyone from Syria shouldn't be allowed to enter the country.

        Case in Point. What Trump really said: "When Mexico sends its people they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you; they’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists, and some, I assume, are good people. But I speak to border guards and they tell us what we’re getting.”[0][1] There was the time Trump called for a wall to keep illegals out, and social media said securing our borders – which we already try to do – is racist. There was the time Trump suggested mass deportation of illegal immigrants, and social media said upholding current law is racist. There was the time Trump suggested banning all Muslim immigrants until we figure out what the risk is, and how to deal with it. Islam is a belief system open to all, not a race, but social media branded it as racist [2] [0]http://www.salon.com/2015/12/21/the_media_needs_to_stop_telling_this_lie_about_donald_trump_im_a_sanders_supporter_and_value_honesty/ http://www.salon.com/2015/12/21/the_media_needs_to_stop_tell...

        Lol you just directly quoted him painting every Mexican as a bad person. "and some, I assume, are good people" was said in jest and he doesn't actually mean it. He means all Mexicans coming here are bad for the USA. Banning an entire religion is bigoted, racist, totally idiotic, call it whatever you like. You can keep trying with the mental gymnastics to justify what he says, but thankfully the majority of Americans see through it. I'm enjoying the current implosion and fallout of his campaign as each day goes by and am wondering just how bad he is going to lose.
