Related: About this forumWhy is the media in the tank for Donald Trump? They cover him ALL DAY LONG!
His tanking polls...
His conflicts with the rest of the GOP...
His flip flops on the "secret Iran video"...
His irresponsible comments about nuclear weapons...
It's just not fair!

(45,003 posts)he's happy stealing all attention away from Hillary
regardless of how it makes him look.
It's makes Hillary seem invisible.
Just ask Jeb or Ted or Little Marco.

(60,336 posts)Not knowing what will come out of his mouth next keeps the media focused. Then when he says it, they love it because now they have hours and hours they can spend talking about it, analyzing and replaying it.

(15,438 posts)But they don't consider DumbTrump part of the GOP so they're giving him as much rope as he desires.
I'd rather see them critically question the likes of McCain, Paul "Eddie Munster" Ryan, Mitch McConnell, and more substantive issues that are affecting our country and the American people due to their laziness in Congress. Republicans have all but conceded the presidential race to Hillary Clinton but they've shifted all their money and attention on keeping the Senate and House. Now, the House is a tall order (though not unwinnable) but the Senate should also go to us, and by a comfortable margin.
I wish, for once, the Republican-controlled U.S. Media would ask Republicans in Congress why the American people should re-elect them since they haven't done shit since taking control of Congress, and why they haven't given Chief Judge Merrick Garland a meeting. But nope. They'd rather cover the already dead-in-the-water DumbTrump and his many, many foibles because it can't hurt Republicans and they can still claim to be our (long extinct) 4th Estate.
