The level of disgust with the way the media has rebranded Donald Trump to the

[mfcorey1]

status of a saint is almost criminal. He talks about Hillary being dishonest and he is the most corrupt person to ever compete for President of the United States. However, they just embellish what he says and takes him to task on nothing. There is no mention of his bankruptcies, his Trump University scandal, his womanizing and hating and so much more. They might as well have him canonized. JUST NAUSEATED THIS MORNING!

1. The media has sunk to new lows.

I'm tired of the discrepancy between what everyone rational says and what the media reports. They talk about being in touch with the 'real' people in America but they're always referring to the white working class. Why don't they talk about the fears of most minorities, or women, in this country? Why don't they talk about the fact that one of our nominees is a proud RACIST ASSHOLE who scares the crap out of a large percentage of the population?

18. as someone in the "white working class"

The media is completely out of touch with me. Fux news removed any bar of legitimacy from the media and the corporate networks are still trying to play catch up. They have become completely worthless, void of integrity, and journalistic standards. Didn't Orwell predict all this?

[sarae]

24. It sounds like

the media's not in touch with the way anyone thinks or feels.

They don't really care about anything except their ratings, anyway...even if the world's going to shit, they'll follow the dollars down the drain.

[spanone]

2. trump is a product of television....they. want. him.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. They want a horse race for ratings. He is just their Useful Idiot. They may turn on him after debate

[Mosby]

23. they might even want him to win though

The rating would be crazy high with all his antics.

3. The media is a profit center not a public service

Get it folks! The media is a profit center. There is no fairness doctrine in play. It used to be that the media was a public service not a profit center. That is why so called "journalists" are better trained in presentation skills then fact checking and double sourcing skills. Ratings are the bottom line. On top of that, you have corporate quarterly report profit statements superseding all else. Trump fits right into the medias end justifies the means mentality. If he leads them to more ratings and profitability, so be it in their minds.

[L. Coyote]

14. A means of advertising and social control, a straight-up, no excuses propaganda vehicle to make $$$$

Make no mistake, they want their guy in the Presidency! They will tell whatever lies are necessary.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

16. I recently moved to New Mexico and saw my first Roadrunner, the state bird

When I worked in media, the Associated Press Book was our Bible. We got BOTH sides of the story to the public. Those days are long gone.

[aggiesal]

25. Did you see the roadrunner tracks? ...

Their tracks are X's so that predators can't determine which direction they're going.

[Scruffy1]

4. I turned it off many years ago.

In my opinion the more you watch or listen the less you know. The Republican party would hardly exist without it. Remember it is solely about ad revenue and the big corporations are the ones to give them dough. I include NPR and PBS in this as they are nearly entirely corporate sponsored. Now go read some good books.

5. If he wins.

And starts his reign of terror on this country and the world then they will start trying to get everyone to come together as he begins to affect them and their families. The media and republicons think this is a joke they think their money will protect them,we are all in this world together.

Sometimes I think ,they need a little Trump for revitalization. If Trump really,really think they will get in power and everyone will bow down they have another thing coming,he will see what he wants ww3. These people are living in the 1900's they cannot keep up with technology and everyone is weaponized and many feel they don't have anything to lose.

RepubliCONS are angry because they have a Black President one day they will be begging for that black President to help in one way or the other and I hope he doesn't.

[Triana]

6. US news media is pure trash.

US media is good for entertainment, movies, etc. but for news - it's garbage. May as well read TMZ or watch Jerry Springer reruns.

I do like Democracy Now, Thom Hartmann, TYT and the BBC - but these are not on mainstream channels here.

[AllyCat]

7. Everytime I turn on the radio or teevee, his mug/voice is on there.

They talk about him constantly. Very sad.

[Triana]

10. Everytime I talk to family and their TV is on, it's Trump Trump Trump occasionally interspersed

with the story of the week ie: Nice truck bomb, cop shooting in TX, etc. Other than that it's All Trump. All The Time.

[Boomerproud]

8. They have attempted to make the re-branding subtle but are not succeeding.

I am turning the TeeVee off starting Monday. Until now I had halfway expected some real reporting, but now I do see they are gearing up for "Trump-THE SHOW".

[imanamerican63]

9. It is Trump's largest reality show!

Whether he makes money from this as president or a common rich person? The country looses and he "WINS"! We need to say to him, "you're "FIRED", with our votes!

[tallahasseedem]

11. I hear you...

I turned off the tv when Brian Williams kept referencing him last night. Fuck that guy.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

13. What's more he abuses reporters like they are his African slaves

I spent my life in media. I am glad media was not owned by sold-out cowards and punks, when I worked in news.

[DCBob]

15. The media is totally complicit in this charade. Its sickening.

They will regret it if this psychopathic idiot becomes President.

[uponit7771]

17. He's tweeted white supremacist sources 75 times... they don't like to repeat that

[LittleGirl]

19. It's just The Donald being the Donald

and the media is eating it up. Think of the profits man? How could they ignore a profit maker for themselves!?

[retrowire]

20. I elect that we kick the media in the balls!

Collectively!

Let us tune out.

I haven't had TV for over 6 years and I'm pretty damn informed, believe me.

Join me! There is so much more to life than listening to bullshit.

[REALforever]

21. Happens EVERY Election Cycle.. Remember how they Portrayed Bush in 2000?

"The kind of guy you'd like to have a beer with".. Yes, if you are drunkass also and don't care about actual knowledge of the world.

Then in 2004 when the MEDIA "swifboated" John Kerry. AFTER, the fucking Iraq war failures!!

Then 2008, we had "Rev. Wright".. 2012? Benghazi

2016, an absolute clown getting a pass because it helps ratings/viewership..

I just acknowledge the REALity and live accordingly...

[Kermitt Gribble]

22. They have to make it a horse race to maintain their profits.

It's become their standard operating procedure for every election.
