Cold rain, snow and lots of Trump supporters. Despite the miserable weather, there are already more people lining up outside the venue of @realDonaldTrump s rally tonight than you see at most of the events for the Democratic candidates. Some have been out here all night

Donald Trump wouldn't stand in the rain to honor US war dead in a cemetery.

Every time Trump did as much as eat a cheese sandwich it was blared out everywhere. As far as I'm concerned The Fix is in.

it's blared out everywhere. and he tweets all day long. it's never stopped since the last election. he gets 24/7 media coverage. free publicity like no one else. and all publicity is good publicity. there is no other news these days except trump lies. the media are complicit for giving him all this coverage.

https://www.politicususa.com/2013/05/18/abcs-jonathan-karl-alum-conservative-media-training-program.html
ABCs senior political correspondent Jonathan Karl, of the now infamous Benghazi email lie, is an alumnus of a conservative media training program Collegiate Network. He stands now accused of making himself vulnerable to being used for political purposes, as he still refuses to apologize for taking the word of a Republican and passing it off as having access to the actual documents.
Karl came to mainstream journalism via the Collegiate Network, an organization primarily devoted to promoting and supporting right-leaning newspapers on college campuses (Extra!, 9-10/91)such as the Rutgers paper launched by the infamous James OKeefe (Political Correction, 1/27/10). The network, founded in 1979, is one of several projects of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, which seeks to strengthen conservative ideology on college campuses. William F. Buckley was the ISIs first president, and the current board chair is American Spectator publisher Alfred Regnery. Several leading right-wing pundits came out of Collegiate-affiliated papers, including Ann Coulter, Dinesh DSouza, Michelle Malkin, Rich Lowry and Laura Ingraham (Washington Times, 11/28/04).
The Collegiate Network also provides paid internships and fellowships to place its members at corporate media outlets or influential Beltway publications; 2010-11 placements include the Hill, Roll Call, Dallas Morning News and USA Today. The programs highest-profile alum is Karl, who was a Collegiate fellow at the neoliberal New Republic magazine.

Karl has written for The Wall Street Journal, The Weekly Standard, The New Republic, & Reason. Notice a pattern?
