TV News Feasts on Trump Controversies While Ignoring Hillary’s Scandals
Newsbusters/Media Research Center ^ | June 20, 2016 | Rich Noyes

Posted on 06/20/2016 8:34:36 PM PDT by Enchante

Voters who have relied on the network evening newscasts for information about the 2016 presidential candidates saw four times more airtime devoted to controversies involving presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump than to the scandals surrounding his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.

Indeed, the only Clinton scandal to receive more than a minimal amount of attention from the networks during the primaries was the ongoing investigation of Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server and her mishandling of classified information while serving as Secretary of State. The networks paid little or no attention to a host of other Clinton controversies that likely would have been big news if they had been associated with her GOP opponent.

MRC analysts reviewed all 1,099 stories on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts which talked about the presidential campaign between January 1 through June 7, including weekends. This tally includes 950 full reports and interview segments; 66 short items read by the anchor; plus 83 stories on other topics that included some discussion of one or more of the candidates.

Hillary doesn't have any scandals.

She has outright criminalities.

That is just it...why doesn't she just conserve her energy, health, and money?
It is not like there is a huge #NeverHillary campaign.
She could just go on cruise control for four months.

I believe what Trump should do is create a question and answer game for Hillary since the media won’t.

Something like “10 questions for Hillary” to be played every two weeks or so.

- Questions about her emails.
- Questions about the Clinton Foundation.
- Questions about her Wall Street speeches.
- Questions about why she paid men more than women.
- Questions about why she requested billions for nations that tortured women.
- Questions about late term abortion.
- Questions about why we didn’t support Mubarak in Egypt.
- Questions about why she supported the overthrow of Libya.
- Questions about why she supported us going into Iraq.
- Questions about her experience with business.
- Questions about why she was involved pressuring banks to make bad loans while Bill was president.
- Questions about “why she really wanted us to kill Gaddafi?”
http://www.therightperspective.org/2016/04/10/hillary-email-get-gaddafi-to-stop-pan-african-currency/
- Questions about NAFTA, GATT and some of our other trade agreements.
- Questions about our open borders.

Repeat the questions over and over again for two weeks until Hillary gets a little pressure to answer a few questions. Again, the media isn’t going to ask the questions.

Questions to get to “why she really wanted us to kill Gaddafi?”

good list

I think that Trump should pick one to emphasize in each public appearance and really hammer it — the MSM would not like to cover it but he could really make it the news-of-the-day

Sorry. I didn’t mean to include the same question twice.

Another question ....

” - Question why Bill Clinton was paid $16.5M by Laureate Universities over a few years.”

Either way, Trump needs to start asking questions because the media surely won’t. And I believe Trump could be very effective asking these questions.

Call it a game, “Ten Questions for Hillary.” And make it very public.

Hillary might do the same in return to Trump but it would be lame. Trump could slam them all down.

Some very questionable people right here on this site are doing the same thing. These individuals are repeatedly posting articles which the MSM are pushing and are only designed to be adverse for Trump. Even negative sounding headlines are being searched and then put up.

He could come out with a very public list. He could make it ten questions per month and push hard for answers. It could make her look foolish.

There are many other questions I could come up with. That was just a few minutes of thought. Trump needs to turn up the negatives on Hillary. The way to do that is to bring out the scandals and poor choices the Clinton’s have made.

I have something to say on Trump, and some of you will like it, and some of you won't, but it doesn't matter to me:

Trump has been picked by God for this mission of running for POTUS, and he will be POTUS...you see this is God's plan, not ours, this is God's decision, not ours...

For to long, satan has ruled this Nation, he took God out of our Country, he has pushed people's sins, gay marriage, taking God's name in vain, has completely entered our children's lives as satan has entered some of our lives...that is going to stop now, this is an election of ‘good’ and ‘evil’ and God is going to win...

Israel is God's Country, and the Jewish people are his people and he gave Israel their land, which also includes Syria, Iraq and other Countries, and it has slowly been taken away from them...they have been persecuted for centuries, not any more...We are going to rise up and help Israel as they are going to rise up and help us...

The evil, vile, people that are in our government will be cast aside, and we know who they are, and the media with their lies, the people that are evil are going to reap a wrath they have never seen before, it's already started...

Have faith in the Lord and His plan, this is not our plan, this is God's plan, have faith to stand behind Trump because he has been chosen by God to lead this Nation back to where it should be, stand firm, stand strong, and remember always, this is God's plan, not ours...

Can we please stop with the “Dinosaur Media Death Watch” labeling of the MSM as some here on FR do? They are obviously not dying at all with the tremendous amount of influence they still maintain. Of course it does not help when you have a GOP (with the exception of Trump) that is completely clueless when it comes to combatting them.

Well I just watched the biggest scandal of all that the media refuses to talk about and it’s the massacre at Benghazi, when the bitch of Benghazi let four Americans die because of her utter incompetence. I’ve watched it five times now and get more pissed every time I watch it.

They are communists, true believers either committed to the leftist worldview or profiting from it.

Bears repeating over and over, especially to millenials. The kids have no idea what communism really is except what their moonbeam Marxist professors tell them

I come onto the net on a site called "My news feed" "powered by MSN" and the situation is similar with many of the stories provided by AP

Questions for Hillary:

Should anyone being investigated by the FBI on national security issues be allowed to buy a gun?

Should they be allowed to run for president?
