Scott Adams expresses very well what I think

given that this election cycle is more of a spin cycle on both candidates, it comes as no surprise that rational arguments don’t help. In most cases the disgusting representation of Trump wins of the more serious policy failures of Clinton. Add that facts don’t count.. simple example is that a woman protecting her husband from female accusers and a out-of-court settlement of 850k $ is less weighted than suddenly found accusers of harassment, who by the way should be asked why they never tried to shake down the Trump-machine (and who will disappear from the spin-cycle once election is over). What counts more – the rational weighting of facts OR the impression build by a quite single-minded media-front ?

Anyhow, similarly the media seem to think that one side will be rebellious when losing, but if we just look at the facts on the ground, it’s not the side the media say it will be.. and Scott Adams does express this very nicely.

If you have a Trump sign in your lawn, they will steal it.

If you have a Trump bumper sticker, they will deface your car.

if you speak of Trump at work you could get fired.

On social media, almost every message I get from a Clinton supporter is a bullying type of message. They insult. They try to shame. They label. And obviously they threaten my livelihood.

We know from Project Veritas that Clinton supporters tried to incite violence at Trump rallies. The media downplays it.

We also know Clinton’s side hired paid trolls to bully online.

Go and read the rest. It’s worth it and this blog will still be there.

 

Media Bias has reached new levels..

but unfortunately it seems that nobody in a “lesser evils” race cares about the unknown, and rather experiences the known.. add to that the media not touching the serious, but only the hypothetical

The shameful display of naked partisanship by the elite media is unlike anything seen in modern America.

The largest broadcast networks — CBS, NBC and ABC — and major newspapers like the New York Times and Washington Post have jettisoned all pretense of fair play. Their fierce determination to keep Trump out of the Oval Office has no precedent.

Indeed, no foreign enemy, no terror group, no native criminal gang suffers the daily beating that Trump does. The mad mullahs of Iran, who call America the Great Satan and vow to wipe Israel off the map, are treated gently by comparison.

 

This transparent bias is a national phenomenon, infecting both print and television media to such an extent that it has become almost impossible to separate coverage of the Trump campaign from attempts to tear it down. The media has long been accused of having a liberal slant, but in this cycle journalists seem to have cast themselves as defenders of the republic against what they see as a major threat, and in playing this role they’ve lost the ability to assess events rationally.

Seems the predictions of the Rasmussen poll in December 2015 have come true.

Forty-seven percent (47%) of Likely U.S. Voters think most reporters are biased against Trump. A new Rasmussen Reports finds that 31% disagree, but 22% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

By comparison, just half as many (23%) believe the media is biased against Clinton. Most voters (59%), in fact, say the media is not biased against the former first lady and secretary of State. Eighteen percent (18%) are undecided.
