Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Sunday accused the media of "burying" the FBI's investigation into Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's private email server.

"Wow, Twitter, Google and Facebook are burying the FBI criminal investigation of Clinton. Very dishonest media!" Trump tweeted.

FBI Director James Comey sent a letter to lawmakers Friday, alerting them that emails potentially relevant to Clinton's server investigation were discovered. The emails were found during a separate investigation into former Rep. Anthony Weiner's (D-N.Y.) alleged online relationship with a teenager.

The recent developments over the FBI investigation are currently leading Google news, trending nationally on Twitter and Facebook and received extensive coverage over the weekend and on the networks' Sunday shows.

This is what I mean about how the media gets intimidated by Trump and his supporters. Trump's sexual assault allegations, tax policy, failure to disclose tax returns, horrible foreign policy, etc. are ignored over the FBI's e-mail misstep, yet Trump says the exact opposite.

The MSM too often rewards those who whine about unfair coverage, and it has become an institution for the RW to complain about bias even though they are the beneficiaries of a corporate media bias.

5. They want to make sure they can sell more ads all the way through election night

I can't believe that I had gone to my doctor's office this past Wed. (I am in Philly) and the waiting area had a TV tuned to the local Fox-owned affiliate with "Judge Judy" on. I swear for the hour it ran (2 episodes), there was probably a total of about 5 minutes worth of assorted "non-political" commercials or station promos and the rest (probably 15 minutes) were campaign ads.

At least most of the ads (about 3-1) were either for Hillary or for McGinity or for the 8th Congressional Democratic challenger Santarsiero vs the Trump/Toomey/Fitzpatrick GOP ads.

7. he knows the media has been all over it

but lying is about all this guy knows, and he also knows that kind of statement will rile up the rubes further.

The guy is inciting riots, IMHO.

9. They have it down to an art I hate to say it

They are better at that than the Democrats. Taking advantage of the commercially dependent private media and their insecurities.

10. According to Harry Reid's letter, it's more likely they're burying Trump/Russia info.
