What part of the campaign media coverage bothers you the most?

Is it that they continue to ignore the FBI report on the investigation?

Is it the continuous coverage they give Donald Trump?

Is it the continuous attacks on Hillary Clinton?

Is it their continuous comments about "honesty and trustworthiness"?

It seems to me that the media is to blame for both candidates having the lowest negative polls in history?

The media is killing Hillary as they talk about the "wall" and the "outreach"... That is not balanced coverage.

Trump is a creation of the media and the media just can't seem to point out his major flaws.

Clinton is either pointedly ignored or they're trying to fluff up the debunked email and Benghazi "scandals."

I would hope that her first act in office would be to smash the six big media corporations into smithereens.

Throw in the fact that this same crap is mandated all the way down their food chain to the Local Stations.

If it is found out that Donald Trump has hundreds of millions of dollars worth of business in Russia and China and that he owes their banks hundreds of millions of dollars, then he is a target for extortion and blackmail. That must be reported. They cannot continue to ignore that probability. That is a much more serious issue than Hillary Clinton's emails.

No one wants to hear about it after the election is over...

Their main audience are dull witted slobs with almost an non-existent attention span and the inability to grasp big words or complex sentences, and thus figure "child speak" is appropriate.
