Who do you think the media has been more harsh on overall? Trump or Hillary?

Who do you think, across the board..just not from fox news...who has been attacked more?

Probably Trump but he absolutely deserves it. It's not actually bias to call someone out because they keep saying stupid and ignorant things.

Although various media sources are quick to publish any new email that makes Hillary look bad I'd still say Trump. It's like archangel said though, Trump very much deserves to be called out for the numerous times he's idiotically made himself look foolish.

Harsh on Hillary??? She has her own large network dedicated to her.

Trump, but he deserves it. Hillary deserves to be called out on BS too, but Trump says some downright hateful and racist remarks and loves to stereotype whole groups of people. He has done it to African-Americans, Mexicans, and Islamic people. It is like his slogan should be Make America Hate Again.

Trump without a doubt. The Huffington Post just pulled a story trending number three on their site asking questions about Hillary's health and pulled the writers privilege's from posting there.

Trump. There is no other way it could go down. Democrats, republicans, the media, people of a race other than white, educated people, all despise him. How is that not going to be reflected in the media?

depends on the media outlet.

from huffington post? trump w/o a doubt.

from breitbart? clinton hand's down

Trump but he deserves most of it. Clinton, on the other hand, probably doesn't deserve some of the criticism such as being accused of killing people which is completely outlandish or her role in Benghazi which is exaggerated.

The media has been more harsh to Trump, but deservedly so. Just because the media is biased doesn't mean they aren't right.

Overall Trump, but that doesn't mean he's a decent candidate. He's plenty terrible, but there is a lot of reaching going on to make him seem even worse, although funny enough avoiding stuff that truly makes him terrible as a candidate, I guess because it doesn't get ratings.

Seeing as how the media swings way left and places like CNN have publicly said they give Hillary a free ride and back her it's not really a tough question.

Neither of them are put to any real scrutiny but I guess Trump. In an ideal world the American media wouldn't be beholden to corporations and billionaires and would actually put these politicians' feet to the fire but alas, that is not the world we live in.

Across the board....both have been attacked. However Trump literally deserves every ounce of it.

Trump goes out of his way to get the media spotlight on him.

You guys have to get over this media victimization complex. It's a large part of why you're in this mess.

Among right-wing media, Clinton.

Among left-wing media, Trump.

Among centrist media, Trump (since Clinton is a centrist, and Trump is far-right).

Trump easily, they actively go down on hillary every chance they get.

Trump mainly because he opens his mouth.

Donald Trump is probably gonna get a lot of flack for flip flopping on major issues to appeal to voters, but we're gonna doubt his true intentions due to the liberal media bias.

Remember when Obama "evolved" his stance on equal marriage opportunities during his presidency? No one condemned him for such an outrageous and discriminatory view before he evolved

Trump....but that comes with things when you are as stupid as Trump is.

• Attack a Gold Star family? Trump did it
• Claim you want to shrink the size of the federal government, but propose deporting tens millions of people? Trump did it
• Nominate a VP who doesn't believe in evolution? Trump did it
• Label an entire racial group as rapists and murderers? Trump did it

@comp_atkins: Yup. Sigh.... Label all non-rightwing media as leftwing media, thereby creating an chamber. Some charlatan uses the resulting echo chamber to run a fact free campaign that tells the party's base what it wants to hear. When the charlatan inevitably fails, blame that same media for the failure.

Looking forward to seeing it repeat next cycle.

Trump easily, but as others have said. They have been harsher on him for a reason.

Trumps not far right, he merely plays one on TV.

He's desperate to make money and get out of his massive debt.

I don't think Trump himself has a clue where he lies on the political spectrum. But he's clearly trying to appeal to the far-right, so that puts him on the far-right end of the spectrum.

Interesting. Do you have anymore information about Trump's debt?

99% of american media is liberal/pro-hilary. It is sickening to watch how much hate they spew at Trump.

Have you tried watching Comedy Central recently? It is pure 2-3 hours straight every night of just bashing Trump. And what is worse, is they reuse the same jokes every show.

Samantha Bee is the absolute worst Trump hater I have ever seen. She is on once a week for 30 minutes straight and all she does is scream how terrible Trump is.

She isn't even funny.

Trump will become president because the liberal media are terrified he is actually winning. So they are doubling down on Trump bashing in desperation.

That's funny, I find it sickening to watch Trump spew hate at fellow Americans, and people in general for that matter.

You can't be too harsh with Trump. Man is a monster in human form, you literally cannot criticize or make fun of him enough because he is generally worse than that.

Clinton is not perfect and some of the criticisms of her are legit, but I think the media tends to sensationalize her stuff a bit, turning bureaucratic mistakes into sinister plots. I think it is hilarious everyone gets upset when that video of her laughing about Gadaffi is shown; why not laugh about it? Man was terrible, we shouldn't feel bad about it.

Trump, obviously, and with good reason.

Between this and the thread about epipens, I am pretty sure you are a troll playing as a nationalistic American.

@n64dd:

Trump. He literally can't breathe without someone trying talk smack about how he does it. I'm pretty sure we all can agree on this. Hillary rarely gets anything unless it's something Trump said about her. But Trump gets smear campaign articles up the ass!

I believe myself that Trump doesn't mean many of the things he's saying, he's just saying radical things to attract the radical voter, and so far it's worked well. I don't see Clinton or Trump making any huge changes in Office, they'll just go with the flow.

If the media really was liberal, they'd be pro-Bernie, not pro-Hillary. Clinton is a centrist, not a true liberal. Much of the media is predominantly centrist, so they would obviously side with the centrist candidate (Hillary) rather than a hard-left candidate (Bernie) or right-wing extremist (Trump).

He is 650 million dollars in debt throughout his various corporations.

Expert businessman indeed.

Even if 99% of the media was liberal, or pro-Hillary. You owuld have to ask yourself why?

Why is the vast majority of the media and press against Donald Trump? Could it be perhaps because he keeps on making himself a target?

For the record, the media is generally centrist, and generally for the status quo.

Trump but deservedly so. His actions have invited the criticism.

It's a tricky question, because I think that the media have been neglectful in regard to Trump. When I watch interviews with him, very few journalists seem to really follow up and press him on tough questions. He'll say something utterly ridiculous - or he'll speak in general terms without answering the question - and few seem to really nail him and hold him to account.

So in that sense, I think the media hasn't really done its job in regard to Trump (other than reporting his general shenanigans).

Overall I'd say that media has probably been "harsher" on Hillary than Trump, at least if you take the above into account.

If anything, the media is actually being quite lenient on Trump. They haven't digged-up his past the same way they've digged-up Hillary's past. Trump has much worse things in his past, like draft-dodging in the '60s and '70s, scare-mongering against Blacks, Hispanics, Arabs and Japanese in the '80s, fueling racism and injustice during the Central Park Five case in the '80s, his rape allegations from various women, his tax returns, etc.

they were harsher on Bernie

now Trump gets attacked more, but it's because he's legitimately an idiot and so are his supporters, Hillary is pretty crooked too but real progressives didn't want her, we just have to vote for her to prevent an utter fascist from taking power

Yup. Trump has gotten a pass on so many things that would have ruined the careers of other politicians.

You don't have to be a Hillary defender to know that Trump has objectively said more controversial things, which result in more coverage. It's part of his Campaign, and if you have not understood this by now as a Trump supporter, politics isn't for you.

But I find the Alt-Right rhetoric of commandeering pornography terms to be very ironic, when considering the data:

When you crunch the numbers of all red states vs. blue states (strong or leaning), it seems that users in red states are more inclined to search for cuck videos.

“ebony” ruled the day in Southern states (Used to describe blacks, the dominant race in most Cuck porn.)

Southern States Watch the Most Gay Porn

http://www.cosmopolitan.com/sex-love/videos/a21993/gay-porn-stats-by-state/

You guys should really stop throwing around those terms, when it's your base who practices them the most.

Good point.

Look at the debates too. Just compare the questions that were asked during the republican debates compared to the questions in the democratic debates.

But from what I have seen, there seems to be this fear of being accused of having a liberal bias, or worse, being accused of being part of the "Liberal media". And its sad when we see some journalists bend over to this conservative correctness.

Hillary has been getting it before she ever even announced she was running again. Trump's been getting a free pass. Every evil thing he accuses the Clintons of doing he has actually done and worse on top of it. He gets a pass because he gets ratings and these days rating always matter more than actual journalism.

On the topic of Trump getting a free pass from the "liberal" media.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/exclusive-donald-trump-made-millions-saudi-government-article-1.2777211

These news however... crickets everywhere else. Had a scandal of a similar magnitude been from Hillary Clinton however, I could expect a massive uproar.

This too: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/09/01/trump-pays-irs-a-penalty-for-his-foundation-violating-rules-with-gift-to-florida-attorney-general/

Trump does what he accuses Clinton of doing, lmao

True. Makes me think that Wikileaks might be quite pro-Trump, considering all they seemed to be targeting is Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party, yet have done f*** all on Trump. On that matter, even Edward Snowden (who mind you, Trump wants executed) disliked how Wikileaks handled one of Clinton's email scandals.

The act of cuckoldry/cuckolding, in the United Stats, is typically white males watching their wives have sex with black (mostly) males.

A genre of interracial pornography in which a white married woman spurns her white husband for sex with a black man.

The porn of it is more searched for by Red (Republican/Conservative) States according to PornHub stats. Thus It is very ironic the alt-right, neo nazis, and white nationalists (yes, those two groups heavily use it) use that term to insult liberals.

Here is an excerpt on the psychology behind some of this,

They resort to slurs like "cuck" because it is emblematic of their own insecurity, the fracturing of the white hegemony over immigrants and blacks. They see "cucks" as race traitors, unable to stem the tide of colored peoples taking what white people are supposedly entitled to. And finally, they fear the possibility that they themselves could be cuckolded by ethnic minorities, and they then turn this fear into a rallying cry.

Secondly, I'm not a raging liberal. I hate regressive leftists and SJW. I'm more of a centrist with free thought, which is why I'm actually responding with facts and quotes, rather than calling you names (ie; CUCK SHEEP!11). Quite a bit of the media is actually centrist, they go after Trump because he's a shock jock. That's his political tactic. Most successful comedians and comedy shows "go after" him because of the things he says and does makes people do double takes and gasp - resulting in easy material. Not because they are "TEH LIBHRUL CUCKS!".

I'm merely stating political and media related facts. If you say crazy stuff, people are going to talk.
