THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE THE NEWS!

Numerous threads over the past week on GD & GDP all based upon the media.

I turned on CNN/Jake Tapper he references this poll, http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/09/clinton-trounces-trump-new-poll-latino-voters then goes on to say Hillary has a problem with Hispanics, high unfavorable ratings.


So Trump polling at a level that Mitt hit, which resulted in a landslide, is bad news for Clinton.

Look, they aren't even trying to hide it. If is it because of corporate masters or just trying to make it a race, doesn't matter.

It doesn't even come near an acceptable level of journalism. We need to figure out a way to stop this. For some reason the Clinton campaign isn't pushing back hard enough, same mistake Kerry made. Obama hit back, successfully in most cases, and most of the BS stories only lingered on at Fox.

"they aren't pushing back hard enough?"

The news won't give them any time at all except to answer bullshit questions about emails. I agree it is questionable journalism, but what can they do?

No matter how badly Trump does. They're looking out for their own ratings. It's not Trump or Hillary. It's about them. The media are the biggest media hogs of all.
