campaign, til the VERY end was to run against the dishonest media.

whenever a dem in the past complained about the ridiculously slanted, socalled liberal media, that person was ridiculed as whining wimps, not worthy of being allowed on the stage. they dared not criticize them. when trump made it the backdrop of his campaign, what did they do, for the most part?

CAVE. ignore the myriad falsehoods/frauds/scams/bankruptcies that comprised his career/campaign, almost never going into any detail wrt the depth of his corruption.

compare that to what they did with the slightest "optics" of less than acceptable behavior on the part of any dem candidate, pouncing on the assumed scandal as a starving wolverine pursues as wounded rabbit.

look what they did to poor simp Dukakis, then WJC. then Gore/Kerry. what they tried to do to Obama. and now Hillary. what a joke. Trump wouldn't have made it past the first month of primarying, if the press had lifted their pinkies to uncover just what a crooked, lying MADMAN this creep is. it was all out there, barely under the surface; indeed he'd been exposed several times by real journalists, who were ignored by the only media that matters at this point: TV. if you don't see it on the tube, it didn't happen. that's still the way it is....might change in the next few years, but it hasn't happened yet.

a fricking MADman. why was that never made an issue?
