2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI guess the big Newsweek story is a complete non-story?
Turned on the tube this afternoon, both CNN and MSNBC just ragging on and on about Clinton's health.
So disappointing.

(18,634 posts)Trump scandals are considered so ordinary and expected that it's not news anymore.
His followers say it's just Trump being Trump. (How cute)
There is no scandal big enough to affect him.
I'll bet that if private videos of Trump and his daughter in bed together became public it wouldn't get much attention.
Because, gosh, he will build a wall and make Mexico pay for it!
Now THAT'S news!

(3,739 posts)the television media. Of course, I have also been sorely disappointed by a large percentage of our citizens. It seems that the Republicans can put absolutely any dangerous idiot up as their nominee and most members of their party will vote for that person. I also am alarmed that younger voters are toying with the idea of voting for a third party candidate when doing so could lead to a President Trump. Who are these young voters? This is not a game. God bless America? God help America.

The days of journalism being an honorable service to the public are long gone.
They will follow wherever filthy lucre leads them.

(3,335 posts)be different, once the evening shows have a run at it, because that was some serious stuff. The media cannot simply ignore it. The man is in debt to people all over the world, including rogue nations and crooks. He has to answer to this. Someone will step up to the place and tell us that Trump is a crook and in bed with lots of other crooks, overseas.

Clinton will have to defeat the media and Trump in order to get elected.
