The Main Stream Media avoided asking the hard questions for months to this fringe candidate Donald Trump. By doing so, and not holding him accountable for his lies, lawsuits, and hate, it has legitimized him to the point that many main stream republicans, it seems, are now supporting their party's candidate. They fail to see that it was a quirk in the primary system that nominated this awful person. Because of the MSM. these republicans also fail to see him as being a candidate who really doesn't belong and is totally unqualified and dangerous. The failure of the media is a real threat to our country and the world.

(1,907 posts)Maybe they have watched him too much. Some of the stuff they come up with or how they handle the interviews really show they have no clue. Last nite brian williams had Farenthold on and you could see he didn't understand what Farenthold told him. Then here comes pence on and since brian couldn't figure it out let pence just pass on everything. Same thing this morning on cnn. The commentator (Not news person for sure) eyes glazed over and was confused since the money went from dipshit's foundation to a charity. He didn't seem to really grasp any context.
The commentator couldn't understand the basics. Dipshit took money from his "charity" to pay off a court fine against his golf course.
Then the same one says dipshit should show his letter from the IRS to prove he is being audited. Putting a piece of tape on the floor and calling it a bar is gross negligence in reporting. But he would be happy evidently since he wouldn't have to understand anything.
