I have been complaining for a while that the network news stations have leaned towards Trump. Even when vilifying him, they give him far more coverage than Hillary, which in itself is a form of promotion. So after his pathetic debate debut and maniacal behavior I had hoped that things would change. But they haven't. The networks still talk as if he is a viable candidate rather than the dangerous poseur that he is. On MSNBC this afternoon Steve Kornacki, who has shown past anti-Hillary bias, was gleefully reporting that Trump was doing well with Hispanics in Nevada. The segment, not surprisingly, seemed to, once again, promote Trump. Why have the networks given millions in free air time to Trump? Why have so overlooked or unreported his greatest gaffes? Why have they constantly repeated every vulgar, nasty thing he has said about her, including his use of the expression Crooked Hillary? Why have they not mentioned his rape charge in New York, but constantly referenced her e-mail accusations? Why have they been so unwilling to report Hillary's many achievements? Why do they constantly say that Hillary is unpopular despite her large and enthusiastic crowds? Why would these major corporations not be frightened of having Donald Trump, a complete naif, as president? Why have so many news sources also noticed and commented on this bias? Why?
