24. I've noticed that same thing. The only coverage Clinton ever gets is negative against her.

Sanders is a useful tool for U.S. media to bash Clinton some more.

The U.S. media are treating Clinton as they've been treating President Obama - horribly, and with the least positive coverage.

Trump gets all positive coverage (he's strong, outspoken, plainspoken, refuses to be p.c., strongly goes after his opponents or anyone who dares to challenge him with some perceived insult, and crushes them, etc.) while the same talking-heads and pundits word their reporting on Clinton to have it come across negatively, making her look weak and gaffe-prone (two things she's not and has never been).

They used the same tactic against President Obama after his one-day honeymoon after being inaugurated was over (before that, he received huge amounts of positive coverage because they wanted him to defeat Hillary Clinton), and President Obama hasn't been able to catch a break since.

We now see clearly who U.S. media as a whole are against...the People.
