Where the media is aiding Trumpism and failing the people?

Trump needs to be primaried.

There are challengers out there that are willing to take him on, but unfortunately, the media is not giving them enough coverage.

There is plenty of coverage about Trump's tweets, or personal attacks upon his perceived enemies, or the "Never Trumpers", or his every utterance.

But, where is the coverage for the other three candidates that are running in the Republican Party??

It is the duty of a free press to give them more coverage, in my opinion.

It seemed to happen around two weeks ago. The anchors began to ask questions suggesting that maybe there was something opaque about the Impeachment Inquiry, sometimes playing devil's advocate about the process not being open and transparent. They are also back to talking about how "half the country isn't on board" and "most voters want to talk about bread and butter issues and don't care about impeachment." Whatever the Democrats do, they say it's a mistake: attacking Trump is a "mistake", not attacking Trump is a mistake, talking about Impeachment is a mistake, talking too much about other issues (health care, guns) is a mistake...
