TV's Campaign '16 News: An Avalanche of Trump Coverage, Not Much for Others

There are currently 17 declared candidates for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, but viewers of the three broadcast evening news shows this year have mainly heard about just two of them: former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, and New York businessman Donald Trump.

And even though Trump received virtually no TV news attention until he officially declared on June 16, he’s received far more network news coverage in just the last six weeks than Bush has received all year.

Media Research Center analysts reviewed every ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts from January 1 through July 31, including weekends, and tallied all discussion of each declared or prospective GOP presidential candidate. They found that the Big Three have devoted a combined 116 minutes to coverage of Trump’s campaign, far more than the 72 minutes garnered by the Bush campaign.

I remember following the 1980 campaign very closely. It was impossible to see, hear, or read the speeches of the candidates. The NYT published the “stump” speeches, once for each candidate.

Every candidate has a YouTube channel. Ted Cruz, for instance, should record a short, but comprehensive speech, outlining all his positions. I want to know:

Will he rescind all the ILLEGAL, ABUSIVE Executive Orders of GW Bush, Bill Clinton, GHW Bush, and earlier Presidents?

Will he remove abortion and other matters from the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.

Will he support governors who declare their states “Sanctuary States” for the unborn?

Will he abolish the Fed?

Will he abolish Fiat Money?

Will he abolish fractional-reserve banking? (I.e., theft.)

Will he promote the repeal of the 16th and 17th Amendments?

Will he incinerate ISIS?

Will he abolish the Dept. of Education’s SWAT Team? And the dozens of other SWAT Teams of dozens of other agencies?

Will he abolish the EPA and other abusive, wasteful, and illegal agencies?

Will he build a wall?

Will he PAUSE immigration COMPLETELY for ten years?

Will he deport ALL illegal aliens?

Will he end all U.S. support of contraception, sterilization, and abortion?

And then CARPET the country with the URL. It’s easy to create an easy-to-remember tinyurl for a YouTube video.

Barak Obama and Hillary clinton are worried that if Trump wins that Trump will prosecute both of these socialists for their multiple crime IRS scandal, Benghazi etc.

So they and the mainstream media will do everything they can to knock Trump out of the race or make him quit.

But these people have all the power and are extremely dangerous.

I hope all of you can get warning to Trump that these people are dangerous and evil so that he gets a lot of security.
