2016 Postmortem

(10,893 posts)I find it laughable when people cry about the media not giving BS enough air time (even though he has been all over TV) and being so much against him, even though there are constant narratives of him "surging" as he still trails by about 20 points and is losing badly among virtually every traditional Dem constituency. Not that I'm so much of a Hillary fan, but I'm frustrated with how the media (yes, even MSNBC) trot out her unfavorable/trustworthy numbers on the regular, but conveniently omit the ones for her rivals in both parties most of the time as well as omitting some of the figures that you mentioned, such as endorsements. She is easily the most scrutinized candidate running for the 2016 Dem nomination, and maybe even the most scrutinized candidate from either party. It makes me feel like I'm being told what to think and that they're insulting my intelligence as a viewer.
