Media and Trump bias: Not even trying to hide it anymore
The Hill ^ | October 17, 2016 | Joe Concha

Sometimes media bias and/or collusion is a blatantly obvious thing to spot, like it was last Thursday when it came to hilariously unbalanced coverage regarding Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump

Quick review: The broadcast evening news programs on ABC, NBC and CBS covered allegations against Trump by several women who claim he sexually assaulted them for more than 23 minutes combined on Thursday night.

But revelations in the WikiLeaks email dump of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta — which included derogatory comments by senior campaign officials about Catholics, Latinos and the NAACP, sympathy for Wall Street, advocation for open borders and blatant examples of media collusion with said campaign — got a whole 1 minute and 7 seconds combined.

Ratio of negative coverage of Trump vs. Clinton: 23:1.

In print on Thursday, it was no better. The New York Times — known as the paper of record — had 11 negative stories on Trump, including one in the sports section. But zero on Clinton/WikiLeaks.

It's almost laughable.

Almost.

There is no media “bias” this election but there is blatant collusion and disregard for journalistic code of ethics...wait, do journalists have a code of ethics? Or are they like lawyers?

I haven’t settled on whether the media are oblivious or obtuse about why Trump keeps referring to the election as being “rigged.” They keep expecting him to cite instances of voter fraud when your illustration is exactly on point and is exactly Trump’s point, too. I don’t hold out a lot of hope for a breakthrough on this, even given today’s video releases on blatant collusion.

Lannan Ryan is a well known D.C. lobbyist.......she does not like Donald Trump...she is a flam'in" liberal, is most comfortable with Washington, D.C. insiders......Paul has trouble with his conservative side, in fact, it doesn't exist.

How come no one mentions Mary Jo Kopechne, and how she was murdered by Ted Kennedy?
Kennedy was very much into the Democrat fold , yet Trump is the mysogynist?
Why cant Trump bring up that in the debates?

Wonder what all these "media elites" will do for a job after the election if conservatives all cancel their cable and turn off their source of income.

Between them and the NFL I am done.

Well remember a few months ago NYT Jim Rutenberg said it would be a big sacrifice but journalists (who presumably know what’s best for us) would have to suck it up and throw away their integrity as they have never done before so they can stop Trump.

The scumbags in the MSM are claiming the made Trump during the Primaries. The idiots are clueless.

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.

We will need to figure out how to get back at the media and their addvertisers after this is all over.

On the Fox News Radio at the top of the hour, three minutes of talking about the Trump tape. No mention of wikileaks or Project Veritas video and tape release today.

If a crime occurred and the media refuses to cover it did it ever happen?

Comcast and Disney properties are good things to avoid patronizing.
