Media False Equivalence Is Trump’s Best Friend in the Debate Over Racism
By Ed Kilgore

But if major media organizations treat everything Trump says as equivalent in gravity and proximity to the truth as everything Clinton says, it could get even worse.

4. Not only will they not call him out, they refuse to ask him the serious questions they ask her.

Palin is a rocket scientist compared to trump. Our country has never seen the likes of this kind of threat including the Cuban Missile Crisis. My 15 year old has more intellect and knowledge of basic government function than that orange psycho.

3. Agree,it is time to do away with the present

Cable News Media Model. This model does zero for Society as a whole. Zero promotion of important life skills or anything to promote a better more understanding Nation.
