How should the media report on Donald Trump ??

Should they tell the truth about him?

That he is a bullying, arrogant, narcissistic asshole who is totally unqualified to be the leader of our nation?

Or:

Should they give equal time to both sides and let the voters figure it out? That way, they can pretend they are not taking a side?

Stop being playing his game and just give truthful facts and let the exposure lay were it may.

That is all I ever want from the media, FACTS.

He could just as well be a pre-programmed hologram. He says what the program determines should be said to generate or attract more agreement. So not reporting amounts to depriving masses of their daily dose of sugar. Masses will get it elsewhere.
