Would Trump be winning if the media had ignored him

[Matariki]

- the way they have Bernie?

I personally think probably not. They created that particular monster IMO

1. If the media was covering Bernie as much as Trump

He'd probably be ahead of Hillary.

2. I expect that might be so

3. For the most part, the media covers what attracts viewers. Sad that it is Trump, but it is.

4. Short answer: No

Trump says whatever the republican voters want to hear, even if it's clear signs of Fascism. The media is owned by the 1% and Trump brings in big ratings, even though he is labelled the "anti-establishment" candidate. He shows no real concern and/or brings new ideas to political landscape. So it's no risk for media executives to show free press of him.

And if the media shows the same air time to Sanders as they do to trump, like many on here said, he would soar past Hillary Clinton( any GOP for that matter). He calls out the corporate media and that's a huge issue for the establishment. Media is a very good tool to get a certain message out there. Because even with the media blackout he has changed the narrative of the election.

5. The only way the media would have paid less attention to Trump

would be if Kim Kardashian was running.

6. TV Ratings! That's what its all about, with Hillary too.

They are GIDDY about the upcoming battle btn 2 famous people.

That's what our country has come to.
