By not going after him and questioning him the way many did with Hillary, the Mainstream Media Legitimized Donald Trump. The media gave him incredible amounts of free air time, like it was a "show" and ratings game. Many believe the idea ..., that he is a legitimate candidate..that is he knows enough and is smart enough to be President of the United States.. Lack of experience..no problem..lack of sensitivity..no problem..he will learn as he goes along....Anyone can learn the game..
The Media, is responsible for elevating Donald to. "Legitimate" At least Bush and many of the others had experience..Trump has none, and the media, and a minority of Republican voters, have created this monster.

(2,962 posts)How any "reporter" can interview the ignorance that is Trump and take what he says seriously. Do they laugh themselves silly backstage?

(32 posts)It's because of the media that Drumpf has gotten so much exposure. If they just ignored him, he'd probably be a fringe candidate, rather than a serious threat. The media just hasn't learned anything from the Bush debacle.
