Why would they want Trump to win? Because he's an entertainer. POTUS is a major public figure. Daily in the news cycle. Hillary would be better at running the country. But, Trump would provide a lot more entertaining material for them. It's all about the ratings.
Usually, no matter the political party, the media calls the candidate on their lies. It doesn't matter which party the candidate is from, things like signs of sickness are treated equally by the media. I get it that FOX always ignores the Republican candidate's flaws. But, I've never seen them go to this extent before. And, they are balanced out by other sources of media.
I saw a sign the other day at someone's house. It said "Hillary's Lies Matter". I wish someone would spray paint under it "but Trump's lies don't matter". Either that person is ignorant to Trump's lies (meaning they don't read the real-time fact checking under the screen). Or, they just don't care that Trump makes so much up. Fabricated. More fictional then "My Little Pony".
Because that's what's happening. Hillary has been investigated and cleared for a few things. Trump has done a lot more. But, he hasn't been investigated and not cleared. He's either not investigated or investigated and cleared.
The PolitiFact scorecard Donald Trump
- True ( 4%)(10)
- Mostly True (11%)(27)
- Half True ( 15%)(37)
- Mostly False ( 18%)(44)
- False ( 35%)(87)
- Pants on Fire ( 18%)(45)
The PolitiFact scorecard Hillary Clinton
- True ( 22%)(55)
- Mostly True ( 28%)(70)
- Half True ( 22%)(54)
- Mostly False ( 15%)(37)
- False ( 11%)(27)
- Pants on Fire ( 2%)
So let's call the top 3 as "not lies" and the bottom 3 as "lies"
Hillary: 72% not lies 28% lies
Trump: 30% not lies 71% lies
So Hillary tells the truth 42% of the time more then Trump
But Trump LIES 43% MORE of the time then Hillary.
She tells the truth roughly as often as he lies!!!
But, to some, Hillary's lies matter more then Trump's. My guess is Trump's lies matter more to the small businesses that went out of business or filed for bankruptcy because he didn't pay them. It matters to everyone who in good faith loaned him money on his name alone then had to take less or nothing when he filed for bankruptcy. After the second Bankruptcy the lenders got what they deserve for lending to him anyway. Starry eyed idiots! His lies matter to all the employees he jilted on pay. But, some people are too brainwashed by the media manipulation to really think about what would happen if he did that to THEM as President. To other countries as President.
He's done things that anyone else would be arrested for. Even calling for his "Trumpies" to shoot Hillary is an outright felony. Yet he has not been put under arrest. Anyone else would have been. Why is he getting away with this? Yet some people might change their votes from Clinton to Trump because she got sick. She's not terminal. But, the media presents it like she is.
Some would play the woman card. Her extra criticism is because she's a women and some voters just aren't ready for a woman yet. I don't think that's it. It's part of the problem. Some voters will vote for Trump because of that. They will use the reason "I just don't like Hillary" but it's an anti-woman in power thing.
But, the coverage is just so lopsided. I can't help but think the media is trying to sabotage the election. To manipulate voters to choosing the person they want to win. It's all about money. They sell more of their product with more entertaining material. Trump is more entertaining. But, he's the worst candidate ever. I wonder how many Republican voters are voting for him because they are Republican versus how many are voting for him because they truly think he'll be a good President.
The media has gotten so good at manipulation. They have so many tools to make it easy. I'm not asking that they switch and start to manipulate voters into going all Hillary. I'm asking for equal coverage. Stop downplaying Trumps flaws and up playing Hillary's. Show them equally with equal measure of importance. Do the same thing with strengths. I don't need quotes from celebrities. I need statistical proof from bipartisan financed studies. The media HAS to be bipartisan.
