In light of new allegations daily somehow sliding until a few weeks before the election- are we tuning out the media bias? My argument is in former President Clinton actualizing the harassment- acting on it. Are we thought to be that naïve by the media?

I'm NOT voting for Trump or Hillary. It is a shame that the two are the only ones getting free airtime in the news.

Kinda makes a person wonder where they are getting all this stuff and the particular timing of the various revelations. What is going to be revealed between now and election day is that DT has several wives on the top floor of Trump Tower, is a white slaver, drug kingpin, mafia boss, and Great Grand Dragon of the KKK. The media is so prejudiced they have come out in the open taking sides rather than reporting objectively. As such they have no more credibility or believability than any other partisan source of misleading or false information.

Wouldn't it be great if 90% of the country voted for either Gary Johnson or Jill Stein out of protest to the 2 major parties.

Not a fan of our choices, but here's my observation with regard to your question:

I think those in the mass media biased against Trump--or simply pro-Clinton--and there's a lot--would probably be better off NOT being so overt in their anti-Trump reporting. Counter-intuitive, I know, but hear me out.

Those opposed to him don't need further convincing, they never did, but there is a tendency among those in the less polarized middle and those with luke-warm support for The Donald to repel against the open bias and subtly motivates them--if not to support--to defend Trump. Not so much because he's likeable, but because his coverage is so openly one sided, that many of the American public are reeling against the feeling that the media wants to decide for them who the "right" person is rather than let the people decide.

If the media eased back the throttle on the anti-Trump bullet train, and let his own words carry or bury him, I suspect he would actually lose some popularity.

Either way, time to buy some popcorn and watch the fireworks.

SGT Dave Tracy Terrific commentary and well thought out answer. I do agree he brings a lot of it to the table on his own. I think what concerns me most is how the media is longer journalistic, but looking to sell ad apace and the hot story. Fact checking aside and no matter who you support- the angle should be integrity in reporting and it has reverted to what will bring the highest dollar. Thanks for some great insight Dave.

I know. I have been defending Trump because I do not like the media bias and propaganda. I use the word propaganda because that what it is. GoogleNews app that I use has yet to really show any favorable stories on Trump. Headlines that rip through Facebook, all junk. I posted a link to TMZ regarding how NBC planned to maximize the leak, edit to protect Bush, that is until the tape leaked and Washington Post got a copy.

I learned during my first deployment that anything put out by the media was a lie, i have no trust or respect for them at all. but to answer your question, I do not want to care what they say, but i find my self reading it anyway. They are not going to change my vote, i guess i just want entertainment.

Ditto. And yes, I know ditto is a liberal trigger word, but I use it anyway.
