Why don't we see more stories like this?

From Vanity Fair's Bio of Hillary Clinton....

A random collection of Americans surveyed by Gallup selected Hillary Clinton as the most admired woman in the country at the end of 2015. The choice made sense. Clinton was the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, traversing battleground states to shore up voters and delegates and sell the exact kinds of qualities that would make someone among Americans’ most respected people. That this was the 20th time that Clinton topped the list—since 1993—is a testament to the role she has played in the modern fabric of American politics. (Only Eleanor Roosevelt, with 13 years atop the list, and Margaret Thatcher, who bested the rest six times, come close to Clinton’s Gallup reign.)

20 times she has topped the list.... when you see things like this it makes you realize how biased the media is against Mrs. Clinton.

If the MSM reports on that, then they will not be able to report on the fact that both Hillary and Trump are both equally hated and that the race is too close to call.

Also, they won't report on it since they will then have to report on how Trump is the most admired man in America since every MSM outlet has determined they will be 'neutral' this campaign instead of 'objective' like they should be.

After filling their pages with commentary and re-quoted pundits telling us that Clinton is trustworthy, where do you expect them to put off-message stories like this?
