What MSM news reports should be saying...

"Today, Hillary Clinton spoke to campaign organizers and volunteers, laying out her plans to promote equality for minorities, create new jobs and raise the minimum wage across the country. She also hired additional staffers in several states and showed several new ads that will soon air in all 50 states. With her poll results indicating a 350+ electoral vote victory in November, her path to the White House appears to be clear and unobstructed."

"Meanwhile, the GOP candidate is trying to stem the tide of poor poll results by attacking additional minority groups and repeating tired adjectives like Great and Tremendous. His modest all white audience in Mississippi applauded and chanted "Lock her up!" It's unclear how long Trump can maintain this poorly performing strategy, given his poor fundraising results."

Just caught the Evening News hear in Vegas. ABC affiliate spend four minutes of Con Man's verbal vomit in Iowa,and not one second on Hillary. Have been bitching about this for over a year as well have thousands.

Whom ever said the Media is favoring Hillary is a bald face liar. Now appears ABC/Disney is all in with the promotion of Trump,no doubt about it anymore.

Sure appears the media is all in with voter suppression by running Trumps racist statements over and over again.

The entire goal of Trumps faux outreach to the African American community is an effort to muddy the water and blame Democrats for inner city problems in poor communities therefore hoping to suppress turnout.

doing their discouragement bit to isolate the African-American vote. RNC with Karl Roves help froze the Hispanic Vote in 2014 here in the Southwest. Same crap just a different garbage mouth.

would seem to me to stimulate voting - against him. I'm hoping for that.

TV news seems to thrive on negative stories. Hillary is doing and saying positive things, which are boring to news directors. I think that's the reason they're focusing on Trump.

Adelson and Wynn sponsored a couple of anti-Hispanic ads couple weeks before early voting started. Posted this story back at that time,Spouse and I did our early vote,on the way home she commented about where were the Latino's,so every day of the early vote,I would putt down to the polling place,which was in the atrium of a Albertson Super Market,and as the poll clerk about the participation numbers,just so happens she lives down the street,her comments were along the same line as my Spouse. No Latino's. After the Election,asked the fellow who is our Landscaper about the lack of voters. The fellow who has lived in the area for twenty plus years,said,the Latino community felt threaten by the GOP ad threatening to deport every Latino in Nevada and not providing any path to citizenship.

As you know,our State Legislature flipped to the GOP as well as two House Seats. This time the Latino Community via the SEIU,are energized big time,and from all accounts,voter registration and outreach is producing a 180 from 2014. Knocking down the anti garbage immediately hopefully works. Never know what the GOP October surprise will be. Adelson has made it clear,he will use his Newspaper as a club against Democratic candidates.

That's the whole message the Money$treamMedia is pushing, and it's a lie on all counts.

is to stimulate his white voters into believing he is not a bad guy at all, look Trump is trying to help the African American community and Hillary takes them for granted. That message will have legs.
