(1,103 posts)of an election contest that this is going to be. They did their utmost to promote a miserable Republican candidate by giving him enormous free tv time to spout his hateful, dangerous and stupid opinions in hopes of gaining ratings---to the detriment of the public. The time he has been given has only benefited Trump and the media have been either fools to fall for the sensationalism or have consciously enabled this monster to advance as he has and it will probably continue till election day. Media, do you know how to get rid of Trump? IGNORE HIM, like you ignored Bernie Sanders for a whole year as he and his message gained in popularity in the primaries, and you blathered on and on with the 16 or so Republican candidates who were always around 2-6 percent in the polls. You deliberately ignored a good man with a good message and great favorability and now we have the mess of the possibility of Trump being president. And we, the public have to bear the consequences. You, the media, are a disgrace to this nation.
