2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThis is INSANE
hours of wall-to-wall, non-stop coverage of every fart or burp or genitalia reference for tRump combined with coverage of polls saying Clinton winning every poll and the nomination is over and everything Sanders sucks, everybody hates Sanders but naive 18-30 year old.
All of this has become a non-stop SNL routine. A self-fulfilling pun. An aburd joke with no punchline.
Never a mention of the ongoing investigation. We have two presidential candidates, tRump and Clinton, both have current and on-going federal investigations and it is never even mentioned.it I very likely that in the next 2-4 week that Clinton will be compelled to speak to the FBI in connection to the email server she kept in her bathroom and the emails on it and what was deleted.
tRump is very likely to go to jail, at some point, in connection to his tRump university scandal.
Tomorrow morning on NBC they are doing a special interview with Rmoney. Are. You. Trucking. Kidding. Me.
That has-been, Mr.47% will get more airtime before noon than a current Democratic Party presidential candidate???
Truly, this is absurd.

Did you hear the CEO of CBS said that the reason they play clips of Trump all of the time is because it's good for the ratings even if it is bad for the country.
smart move as usual Bernie.

People are listening though. Sanders still pulled down more in donations than all the teapublicans combined and beat Clinton for good measure.

(8,785 posts)do not provide fair access to the wants of their potential viewers.
Some sort of re-instatement of the Fairness Doctrine is necessary to retain the USA as a nation for the people and not for the almighty dollar.
What MSM is doing in the POTUS cycle and general is a form of social bullying.
The problem is getting worse too.
One cannot have fair elections nor representation without access to information.
MSM now tends to be propaganda that supports corporations and other monied interests.

He has been on every sunday show for three solid weeks and that was just in Feb. Just how much time does he need?

(8,699 posts)It was happening even before the first vote was cast in this process.
They've been giving that asshole free airtime from the start.
Couple that with his good family friend Clinton and all the press gushing over here non-stop, it has become crazy.
(speaking of that, so do you think, if she wins, she will nominate her other good family friend Henry Kissinger, the war criminal, as Secretary of State? He has previous experience, you know.)
The majority of the states have not voted, the race is not over. Its not over till the last vote is cast on the convention floor.
