MSM bias in US election
Sep 2^nd, 2016 at 8:03am

There is so much of it in mainstream media. You see it every day and it's a disgusting corruption of democratic principles.

This one short example -there are hundreds every day day - illustrates the point.

A former policeman was alerted to the predicament of a young child locked in a hot car in New Jersey. He managed to smash a window and get her out.
He was wearing a Trump for President 2016 T-shirt.

CNN ran the story with an interview and he was wearing the T-shirt.
But when they ran it again the message on the shirt had been digitally deleted.

Responding to complaints later they said the message deletion had been an inadvertent error.

Why don't the likes of CNN just get out on the streets and steal Trump signs like honest criminals. They have the mindset.

There are a million stories in the Naked Election. This has been one of them.

Golly! T-shirt profundity mentality! Well, that alone has certainty sold me that Grumpy Trumpy should be the prez.

Where's the T-Shirt that reads:

Trump went to Mexico but was too big of a pussy to ask, no, demand them for money.

Speaking of sales, I'm not paying one god damned red cent for his ridiculous "wall"

Hands off!! Grumpy Trumpy

And neither is Mexico.

Once upon a time, there was a wonderful mythology that the press had the interests of the general public at heart. That mantle is now worn by the media what ever the platform. It is a charming reminder of more simple times, when only a small percentage of the public, questioned authority. But a review of press coverage throughout history shows editorial and ownership bias has been with us since day one.

Its not just ownership at issue. For example, the anchor on ABC's The Drum stated that Donald Trump called for H Clinton's assassination. And when she was challenged, she would not withdraw the statement. There are a lot of people in Australia who think the ABC is without bias because it is paid for out of the public purse.

For the record, the origin of this accusation was when Trump said he thought American gun owners might be able to stop Clinton. That is a long way from suggesting they shoot her. All they have to do is vote.

I think that is unfortunately true. Although I believe there was a time, pre-1965 maybe, when it was without bias.
In those days they reported the news, with a significant establishment of their own foreign correspondents as well as wire services, instead of opinionising it as they now do.

I don't think you understand the meaning of non sequitur marla but no matter.

What you need to understand and what the real people who ARE going to vote need to understand is the biggest bias of all in the MSM.
That is, the hiding of Hillary Clinton. The not calling her out on her policies.

But that is proving to be a disaster, even if it is the only strategy left in the book.
Because Trump is now the lion rampant, speaking everywhere, noting how he's going up and she's going down in the polls, talking about things the people want to hear about while she sends out press releases and letters of demand for campaign donations which she spends on an endless loop of negative ads.
The people just don't want to hear that
They're up to their eyeballs with that.

All over red rover.

Federal convicts told a judge they were forced to watch Hillary Clinton’s convention speech at the federal prison where they’re being held — but said the prison imposed a blackout on Donald Trump’s speech, tuning the facility’s televisions to other channels.

The felons are trying to join the federal case against President Obama’s 2014 deportation amnesty, saying that Mr. Obama is discriminating against U.S. citizens caught breaking the law by punishing them, even as he attempts to grant work permits and taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal immigrants.

In filings in a federal court in Texas, the four female convicts — one of whom, in a bizarre twist, is serving time for smuggling illegal immigrants — said they need to be set free to fight their case. They said prison officials and other inmates are targeting them for their political beliefs, and particularly their support for Mr. Trump, the GOP presidential nominee.

“On the night of Hillary Clinton’s acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention, special accommodations were made, where every television in the housing units were placed on the channel where her speech was televised,” the convicts said. But they said they were not allowed “a television to watch Mr. Donald Trump give his acceptance speech.”

The women are being held at Federal Medical Center-Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas.

The federal Bureau of Prisons refused to answer questions about the situation, insisting officials couldn’t comment because of the ongoing court case in Texas over Mr. Obama’s deportation amnesty.

Busted : Humiliated MSNBC was Forced to Correct a poll they SKEWED to Help Hillary
Breaking News By Amy Moreno September 7, 2016

We have the worst liberal media in the world.

Today Chuck Todd of MSNBC was caught skewing a poll in favor of Hillary Clinton.

Todd took the CNN poll which showed Trump ahead and reconfigured it using the 2012 Romney turnout model to give Hillary a bump.

After conservatives noticed this discrepancy, a HUMILIATED, and IDIOTIC MCNBC recalculated using the correct number which put Trump BACK up by 2 points.

Our media cannot be trusted and THIS is why Trump supporters say repeatedly that the POLLS ARE WRONG.
