A watchdog group says evidence is mounting that the media is on a crusade to tear down the Trump campaign and get Clinton elected.
Viewers of the "Big 3" television networks who wanted to know more about Donald Trump's latest scandal involving lewd talk about women could pretty much take their pick of stories... including this one from ABC's George Stephanopoulos.
Stephanopoulos: "More fallout from the video that send Donald Trump's campaign reeling over the week and put a spotlight on his history with women."
But if they wanted to hear about the WikiLeaks email scandal that rocked the Clinton campaign, coverage was practically nonexistent.
According to Mike Ciandella of Media Research Center, ABC, NBC and CBS spent more than three hours covering Trump, but only 22 minutes on the WikiLeaks drop most wasn't critical coverage.
"Most of the coverage of Hillary's emails wasn't about specific emails, it wasn't about specific controversies brought up,".. "It was about how were these emails hacked, [and asking] are the Russians trying to help the Trump campaign."
The MRC research analyst says it's not that there's nothing to talk about concerning the leaked emails.
"If they had actual journalistic integrity, I think they'd give a more balanced approach to it," he tells OneNewsNow, "because the things in the emails are also legitimate things that would probably boost their TV ratings.... definitely things worthy of talking about in the news cycle."
Ciandella adds that the regular nature of the slanted coverage is making his job a bit boring. "It's a continual cycle of something comes out about Hillary, something comes out about Trump [then] they cover the Trump stuff, they hide the Hillary stuff."
He says if he wanted to, he could just recycle the same story and change the particulars.

As brazen as I've ever seen...................... Poorly disguised as patriotism .......... An insult to my intelligence
The fix is in just ignore 'em .................. No worse than usual ................. The very worst rigging ever
i am amazed that the propaganda spin works on so many people...
this election is definitely one that has our nation’s future in the balance.
God help us all.
The most unbiased news story of Trump / Florida Hispanics I found was written by al Jazeera.
This is so blatant that I am seriously convinced this violates FEC campaign finance laws for unreported in kind contributions of campaign advertisement. Dead serious. I think Donald will look into this and be sure it never happens again after he wins. I can see huge breaking towards Trump. The desperate lies about these woman has made woman and fair minded people everywhere —mad as hell. And to ignore her intimidation of the raped and assaulted women by her reprobate husband has been duly noted. I have some indications that Christians are now united for Trump. Christians don’t like lying slander 22 days before an election. I am telling you— it has back fired in the protestant and catholic communities tremendously and with all fair minded people.
I’m going to send an email to each alphabet news network.

Waste of time, target practice is a better use of time. Media is colluding with leftists.
This election will be over in a month. However, the damage to the media’s credibility will not be forgotten due to their overwhelming bias in this election. I understand the media always leans democrat, but to basically ignore any negative Hillary news is disgusting. At least report on negative news for both candidates and let the American people decide. That is called JOURNALISM. I wish I could punch every biased media person in the face. I dislike Trump, but I will vote for him just because I hate what the biased media is doing in this election. Disgusting.

“As brazen as I’ve ever see...”
This is nothing new; it’s been this way for many decades - at least since the ‘30s on behalf of Roosevelt and Stalin.
However, they have never been so openly desperate while doing it.
