Because the media still wants there to be some kind of level playing field for the sake of 24hr news cycle drama.
It’s shameful. Period.

I’m convinced only conservatives consume any sort of television media at this point in any quantity valuable to advertisers. If TV so much as besmirches the pristine idea of Trump to his faithful, viewers will flock back to social media and their advertising dollars will follow.

The media KNOWS a Trump win will equate to people constantly being on edge to watch the news regarding his daily disasters, and for them it’s all about the ratings.

Great question. Here’s several possible answers. Maybe it’s because 90% of our media is owned by six major corporations that control what we hear, see, and think to some degree. Maybe their basest instinct is to increase their wealth, and they feel that Trump gives them a better chance to do that. And maybe because his outlandishness, continuous lies, and verbal assaults on just about everybody that isn’t White male and Christian brings eyeballs and eyeballs equals revenue. There’s a myriad of other reasons as well…

We know why. They know why. We know it’s indefensible, they act as if they’re immune from criticism and circle the wagons to defend their compatriots in the business when one of theirs gets flamed. Their wealthy Republican owners tell them what to write and say.
The only way to stop it is by hitting them financially. Stop buying their press, stop watching their shows.

Because both democrats and republicans get held to their parties standards. And republicans only have one standard: Fielty to Trump.
That’s the least nefarious explanation i can give 😉

Because the media is reporting in bad faith since they killed the fairness doctrine, just so they can lie on air and claim its a joke or that theyre just entertainment. They did the same with stock market to allow them to cheat ‘legally.’ The class warmongers are attacking the country cause their greed just cannot be satisfied. They want it all!
Funny how all the trump supporters were calling for a mental screen for Biden but shut the fuck up when Biden dropped out and trump really started showing his age.

Fear. Trump embraces violence against anyone who criticizes him. There have already been lunatics who attacked different news rooms.

Because Trump is good for news channels. Especially if he’s in office.
Because money. Because this is the true nature of capitalism.

Right after Trump won in 2016 I sat next to a CNN producer on an Acela from DC to NYC. She* was working with Jeff Zucker on a presentation for a company town hall. The theme was literally to normalize Trump, to be nice to him, because his (older) fans were a huge and reliable source of ratings and revenue that they could not afford to alienate.
It is about money. It is about profit. That is all.
*Sidenote: We were held about 45 minutes due to a fatal trespasser strike near Philly. The only thing she said to me during the entire ride was how annoying it was that this made her late. Ghoul.

I honesty think we need to not joke, but have an honest conversation in the media, about him seemingly defecate on stage and at events on multiple occasions. Can you imagine him doing this on a national stage? It seems from reports that has already happened… It’s not funny. It’s irresponsible not to have serious conversations and coverage. It’s… so disgusting.

Excellent question that had to be asked. Trump never was one to release his financials, his tax returns, his school records and his medical history…why is it always expected and demanded of Democratic candidates and Trump always gets a pass. 😕

My guess is that the majority of media outlets are owned by right leaning owners that help dictate what is reported and what is not. CNN, 2 years ago, was bought by a right leaning person and have watched them change to the point I don’t watch it anymore.

**[RawStory – Video of Trump saying “knock the hell out of her!”](https://youtu.be/tMvTvAWhfZg)**
This is from CA yesterday. Trump calls for a woman who disrupted his speech to get “the hell knocked out of her.”
Please, let’s get this out there – every platform, every sub.
Donald “women first” Trump showing who he is and will be.
They report it. His followers won’t believe it. I watched this happen with Reagan as well.
I think the media is trying hard to put all that stuff behind them. And move on, you know?
