Trump wouldn't have HALF the media problems he's got if he could learn to keep that filthy mouth of his shut for longer than 5 minutes. Someone should start washing it out with soap, like my aunt used to do to me, every time he says something gross and offensive. Maybe he'd finally learn his lesson.

Or even more absurdly like expecting Trump to do some jail time for low fiving women in the crotch.
LOL, 'low five'. I love it. Do you think that defense strategy would hold up in court?

Would you still be saying that if Trump were winning? If Trump wins the election is he still going to insist it was rigged, and demand an investigation of the outcome? Ya know...to make it fair for Hilary and all. Is the FBI still rigged now that they are re-looking at the email server issue? Or not anymore? And the polls? Are the results of polling in Florida sound or rigged, now that it's neck and neck? It's funny how you guys only complain about stuff being "rigged" when things aren't going well for your candidate, lol.
Did I say I like Trump? No. I think Jill Stein is the best person to be president. It sounds like you'll be happy to live in a nation where the only media is pro-government mouthpieces, so long as it's Hilary in charge. I would hate to live in a nation where there is no independent media.
The job of the media Is to keep those in power in check. We have a right to know what our elected officials are up to. It's very sad that entities like the Washington Post and the New Times want to hide the misgivings of certain politicians from us. It's a massive conflict of interest if "journalists" are having expensive dinners with Hilary's cronies. I shouldn't have to explain that to people.
P.s. And notice the article was taking about clear bias against Bernie not Trump. The media can chastise Trump all they want, I don't care. Thing is, the media hates the actual left. That is, it hates people to the left of Hilary, in particular those who are not prepared to bow to Hilary, like Jill Stein who they view as a threat. All the mainstream loves crony capitalism.

She's better than Trump, yes. But it's just wrong to say she'd make a better US president than Clinton. She's a little too looney.

I apologize for assuming you were a Trump supporter. But, I stand by the content of what I wrote for those who are.

Yeah, but then he wouldn't have all the free publicity. He's going to milk this campaign for all it's worth, before he has to go back to his day-job as a reality TV attention whore.

Not at all. I just despise the use of the appeal to authority unless you back it up with facts. "Noam Chomsky says Obama is a war criminal" holds the same weight as "Some guy says Obama is a war criminal". A person saying something, whether they are a well respected intellectual or not, does not make that something any more true.
Even in the video you posted, the points he brought up were pretty tame.

Apology accepted. My post was about the glaring conflicts of interest that Wikileaks had shown some journalists have. A conflict of interest lends itself to bias. Said journalists are pretending to objective whilst attending dinners with close aides of the Clintons. I'd be lamenting that who ever was "winning". Some media outlets are pretending to be unbiased when they are really not. I think it's disgusting that "journalists" are giving content they produce to the Clinton Campaign to edit before it gets released to the public.

Trump should have ten times the media problems he currently has, given his finacial, fraud, bribery and rape problems.
I find it bitterly ironic that Trumptards are now giving out about the media, because if the media had even been remotely diligent with their god emperor, he'd be in the running to bring the Republican ticket at fifth in the polls right now. The only reason there's still an election contest is because for the last six months the media has treated him with kid gloves while hammering Hilary Clinton with every non scandal that comes their way as if she were the new Benedict Arnold.
