Gee, really Chuckie.
Is that why during the Matt Lauer interview Hillary was treated with hostility, while trump was given a free pass?
How about the hair on fire reaction with Hillary's bout of pneumonia? Was the media balanced their?
When Comey released the letter to the house republicans in Congress Chuckie, how come MSNBC was the first network to FALSELY report that the email investigation had been reopened, and then proceed to parade every right wing politician across their screen to to propagate that LIE.
I can name so many more examples, and the double standard of the media, but we all saw it.
I am so glad MSNBC, CNN, fox, CNBC, and the rest of the trash doesn't come into my house
Chuck Todd: Media knew how hated Hillary was in heartland and we underplayed it

The first comment resonates well:
"What you did wrong you big toad is to NOT tell the truth about Donald Trump. You let him tell lie after lie without any blow back from the press. Todd you are disgusting!"

(31,261 posts)The minute it became clear Hillary could not get to 270 EV, shut the TV off and have only watched maybe three hours total of local news for weather and local issues. I have no plans to watch MSNBC (really disappointed in how they normalized Trump leading up to November 8) or CNN. Never watched Fox, seldom watched CNBC.
The tide is turning for CNN. Ever since Trump shut down their reporter and called them "Fake News" in his first press conference, CNN has been acting like they've finally seen the light. They're not cutting Trump any slack. They know that he's done with them, so now they're after him. Jake Tapper especially. Cumo gets his digs in too. It seems like they're reporting how they should have been reporting all along. It took Trump to kick them to the curb to make them do the job they should have been doing for the past two years.

I think Joy, Rachel, and Christiane should be first in line.
And then explain his Trump coverage.
