The wikileaks make it very clear that the media serves hillary and the hillary campaign even gets to pick headlines as well as approve stories before print.
Nahhh.. It's a right wing myth... Oh, it MAY have been that way YEARS ago, but not any more... In the MIDDLE part of the country, right wing talk radio DOMINATES the airwaves.. On cable TV, FOX News is the highest rated news channel on the air.. Around 90% of the country HAS cable.
I'd call that pretty POWERFUL media, and they're NOT supporting Clinton.. Are they more powerful than the NY Times and the Washington Post?? I'd say they're EQUAL.

Yes. The main big city newspapers all support Hillary. The TV networks all support Hillary. The primary cable shows (CNN and MSNBC) support Hillary. FOX is split and not 100% supporting Trump which, in effect, results in support for Hillary. Of several hundred small and medium size local newspapers, all but three are supporting Hillary.
It's true that certain traditionally right-wing radio media such as Limbaugh and that crowd continue to trash Hillary but, honestly, nobody pays much attention to them anymore unless they're a part of the deplorable core. (Sorry, couldn't resist that comment).
Of course it is common knowledge that the majority of news media support Clinton. Just looking at donations from journalists makes it very clear. 97% of donations to Clinton.
Assuming the media IS left wing, they're citizens like you and me, so why SHOULDN'T they voice their opinions? Why SHOULDN'T they be allowed to contribute money to whom they choose? Apparently, you don't mind a RIGHT WING media that does those things, as long as they support Trump. You just don't like that he's losing.
Look.. In the main, I agree with you... There WAS a time in this great nation of ours, when broadcasters were REQUIRED, by law, to TELL THE TRUTH.. But, Republicans KILLED the Fairness Doctrine, not the libs.. I'm all for reinstating it. You?
