Like I said, there's always a slant, and they try to make hay with their little angles, but with Trump it seems they're parsing every word and every syllable, distorting it, and reporting it as news, if they're not just outright making it up.
For instance, what's with all the "GOP plan if Trump quits" BS articles? How about all the articles where Trump makes a joke, and they twist it and report it as though he's made a factual statement? This is totally nuts now.
Trump is more of a threat than McCain or Romney ever was to the Uniparty. Mittens and McVain were one of their crowd so they knew their place in the game. Trump is not and is a direct threat to them.
but I can’t recall seeing the continuous assault of nonsense articles on a candidate coming out like they have with Trump.
the media didn’t have to focus on McCain, as he presented them with one of the slowest moving targets ever in Palin; and you’re minimizing Romney’s treatment; remember, he caused some woman to die of cancer, or at least he didn’t care upon hearing about it, and he had ‘binders’ full of women, which proved how much he hated females...
this election is 2008 all over, except with Palin at the top of the ticket; drooling hatred is on full diplay, because the Pub candidate is unusually feisty and irritating to the power structure, and because the Dem’s are running an ‘historical’ candidate, and we can’t have history being denied...but in the end, all the hatred and lousy press in the world doesn’t (legally) give anyone more than one vote to cast...
Remember nuggets from “inside her campaign” like she didn't know Africa was a continent, that made it into the headlines. Same with Trump and “insiders” who are making hay with “he asked three times about the use of nuclear weapons”.
I think it is when politicians on the right side of the aisle are resonating with the middle class voters the “progressives” get mad with fear, and everything is allowed.
