Donald Trump repeatedly rages that the media is biased against him, putting claims of press prejudice at the center of his campaign for president. Most voters — and not just those who are backing the Republican nominee — agree with him, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll.

Overall, 56 percent of likely voters say the media is biased against Trump, just 5 percent say it’s biased in his favor and 37 percent say coverage is mostly balanced.

Eighty-seven percent of Trump’s supporters see the media as biased against him, and even Hillary Clinton’s supporters are more likely to see bias against Trump than bias in his favor, 30 percent to 8 percent. Sixty percent of Clinton’s supporters see no bias in either direction. …

“Sixty percent of Clinton’s supporters see no bias in either direction. …”

There is the problem and the opportunity.

But what we are seeing is not bias. It is full on advocacy for the establishment against the People.

The Big Losers this election have been the Media. They’ve been riding their high horse since Watergate, and they’ve finally been exposed for what they are. Any protestations of objectivity and fairness have been well refuted.

You want to see an example of bias.
Trump does a rally and the only channel which shows all of it is One America News.
Clinton does a rally and CNN, MSNBC shows all of it. Fox and FBN today showed most of it.

Did those channels show Trump? Hell no.

Question by Andrea Michell was asking if Trump should be at the opening of HIS OWN hotel etc.
Asking Clinton a question later was “ How was your birthday”?

it is so apparent that the media is bias, and only has to be a fool to not know that, one has to be an ignorant fool to vote for her corruption .

Associated Press: Donald Trump repeatedly rages that the media is biased against him...

Golly Gee Willikers, Mr. Associated Press; why do you think Mr. Trump says liberal news media is biased against him?

Did you see him handle Stephanopolous?

GS: “What do you most regret?
DJT: We all regret things. Like you, George. You regret contributing to the Clinton Foundation, don’t you?”

LOL! For real? If so then Trump is truly master of the art of the deal for putting GS in his place.

For real. Look on You Tube for the clip of the Stephanopolous interview of Donald Trump. It’s around 5 minutes long. That is just one example. Donald handled him beautifully, with grace and calm deliberation. He never backed down once.

It’s beautiful.

Okay if 56% think the media is biased against Trump and the polls show Trump getting around 44% who are the others that make up the difference; Democrats who “feel sorry” for Trump> REALLY? Of course not. They are Trump supporters.
