When it comes to covering Trump, they are apparently the only of the three major cable news networks not to carry the two idiots live.
Not that I am going to watch FOX , but I have pretty much stopped to watching MSNBC. As somebody tweeted a while ago, Trump has 2 SuperPAC, named CNN and MSNBC.

Or maybe they do and they just don't care.

(44,116 posts)Rachel Maddow did a great piece a little while back, guest was a Presidential historian. They drew parallels between how Donald Trump was campaigning and how racist anti-segregation George Wallace campaigned for president in 1968. Showed back to back clips, was uncanny how similar they were.

He got 3 times more coverage than the rest of the candidates (dems and GOP). This helps him as he knows perfectly well how the media work.

(27,315 posts)They totally misunderstand how Trump manipulates the media and us. He knows perfectly well that exposure matters, particularly if you are not going to attack the man on his strengths.
We have promoted a mediocre businessman who got his money from his family in a populist icon that his supporters believe is a self made man.

Turn on Free Speech TV and Democracy Now with your internet connection.
